"The refuge is Agarttha. You must have heard of Agarttha, seat of the king of the world, the subterranean city from which the Lords of the World dominate and direct the vicissitudes of human history."
Umberto Eco - Foucault's Pendulum (1988)
Everything begins underneath. The wave, deeply anchored in a compact earth, vibrates, beats, rubs, shocks. Painful birth. Path towards the light.
The Agartha rises from limbo. From its entrails emerge multiple ramifications, half animal, half vegetable. A new cycle of life is anchored in its past thickness to go towards a light and aerial growth. The dazzling ascension, absurd and disorderly, dies out in a space without borders.
