My degree project is about alternative ways of communicating with the future about the dangers of storage sites where spent nuclear materials are stored. Symbols and signs hold a certain degree of power but could be misinterpreted in the distant future. I have looked into religion and secrecy as a different way.

Religion, myths, stories, these are things that can last much longer than signs or symbols.

This works takes place in the far distant future where humanity still survives but the whole world has turned into a technological medieval world. In this society, in the depths of the earth, a group of priests reside. They aren’t really humans any more, more like twisted abominations created from the intense heat and radioactive emissions. No one knows what they do and no one dares to enter their subterranean temple because in there resides the spirit and the eternal light of their god.
