the Abyss

A fictional story about 2 tortured souls who have been trapped in an EVIL place
Every day they wake up in their eternal groundhog day
in this HELL. They have only one thought. RELEASE!!!

The Swastika was already there and Richard & I decided it added to the evil of the place and the scene. Nazi's can never be tolerated in any form!!!!

Very creative and the story is well told with your photographs. I agree with Stu that the swastika is a little extra, the story without it is still dark and broody and full of tension. Good work. V

Very powerful gallery. I could feel the sense of despair of being trapped without hope, and then release. I think this speaks to some of our primal fears and senses. V

Dark, creative and moody Ade. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If I'm honest, and I hope you don't mind me being so, I am not sure whether the nazi-theme really does it for me across the whole series; I only say this because it's such a loaded symbol and I think the images have enough darkness, enough mystery and moodiness without it. But, that said, I have to contradict myself and say that it does really add something to the photos it appears in. So: Hmmm!!!! I dunno. I'm still a bit unsure in my own mind about it!

Anyway, I personally would love to come up with something this dark - it drips with menace. Voted, think more people should see it.
