Why Are We Here?

Antares, the red heart of the Scorpion constellation and one of the brightest stars in the night sky, has long been associated with intensity, transformation, and cycles of change. Conceived as a counterforce to Mars, its name—“rival of Mars”—evokes a vital force opposed to conquest and domination. 

Its intense red light holds a tension between danger and vitality, suggesting both wound and pulse, and revealing vulnerability not as weakness, but as a site of change. 

From this tension emerge two creatures. Separated yet intrinsically connected, they inhabit a threshold where life and death converge. Embryonic, monstrous, and alive, they appear suspended between emergence and dissolution, carrying traces of both fragility and resistance. 

Rather than offering answers, the creatures remain within the question itself. They inhabit a space where uncertainty, transformation, and possibility coexist, and where becoming remains unfinished.
