DOWN and AROUND: With the cliff on your right, the ocean in front and walls all around, we spiral down, down, down, till there's only going up.

Equilibrium Oblivion

“There is a gap to the northward of the light that might lead a captain astray who did not know the coast well…The captain must have mistaken the Gap for the North Head..." Equilibrium Oblivion is a project which seeks to neutralise the entropy of the cliff and the sea, at a site of wreckage and salvation, a silent witness to the tragic narrative of the Dunbar. The antithetical physical manifestation of both entities ironically provokes similar eerie feelings of nihilism. The cliff behind and the ocean ahead. The void behind and the void ahead.
