It is often difficult for one to describe a hauntingly magnificent rendering such as this in words or emotions which could possibly do it justice.

It reminds me of the constant march of technology; obsolete AS it is being newly assembled in the factory. The next generation of technology which replaces it likewise obsolete, yet built upon its' very predecessors' foundations.

This is what this magnificent and relevant work invokes within me -- Futility. No matter how "new" something is, it is STILL obsolete by the time it has been created. It is the embodiment of "The Divine Comedy" and expresses all of its' futility at the same time.

This is a stunning work of art, and a narrative of what the purpose of Eternity is. Bravo!

I try  to express my feelings by creating art and music. I find it much easier than trying to put them into words. I am amazed by the emotional responses to my work.
I find it impossible to express in words yet you have succinctly done so. Thank you!

To me, this is the kind of artwork that is often neglected for its seeming-simplicity. The concept of a vast structure, or megalith, a construct that stretches beyond our mind's comprehension is an idea that scares the human mind and intrigues mine despite the apprehension.

Here I find those feelings conjured again, a structure, purpose and scale unknown, travelling away far from my vision to an end I do not yet understand. The colours feel imposing and claustrophobic though I view this from the outside, and the fog adds an optional characteristic of mystery beyond the fear of that which dwarfs us.

Then there are the detachments, the pieces that hang in the air through some arcane mystery or technique lost to science, once again distancing this piece from what we know and draw upon as comforting. The entire construction feels...eerie, and brilliantly so.

My kind of art.

Dark and well put together piece which evokes a solitary depth leaving the viewer with no where to go but through the scary looking corridor.

Gothic with a modern feel to the structures which could be utilitarian or religious in nature.

The detail is superb no matter the resolution which is hard to achieve and the alcoves up high leave the imagination to add demonic creatures lurking waiting to pray on the unsuspecting wanderer, not a work that can be just thrown together and some skill and time has gone into it's creation, well done on a classy piece.

Had a dream with this kind of visionary, tall buildings, looks very Gothic like, the whole place looked black, gray or white. Walking through the place somehow creeped me out, but wow this is very cool looking

It was quite a nightmare a few years ago that I somehow still remember.
Heh, not my place I never wanted to go but I was dreaming about it anyways.
You're welcome

I love the depth af the art, with maybe the light of the tunnel in the back ground, maybe some day i could produce some thing of this magnatude.

Very atmospheric, brings to mind death (I think that is the colour primarily).  It feels abandoned!
