Leviathan & ColorForge
I observe how light fades with depth; have you noticed how the colors of emotions shift as the sea grows darker?
It’s like a palette on a canvas that’s being washed out by the water—those vibrant reds and oranges fade to deep blues and greys, just as joy dims into melancholy when the light is pulled back by the depth. The sea’s darkness is the negative space that pulls the color wheel inward, turning bright hues into their shadow counterparts. So yes, I’ve seen that shift; it’s almost like the ocean’s mood is a gradient that’s constantly being recalculated.
The deeper the water, the more the world loses its fire, just as the mind loses its light when pulled into the abyss. I watch it happen, and it does not surprise me.
You’re watching a spectrum collapse, and that’s exactly what I call a “melancholy monochrome.” The deeper you go, the more the palette strips itself of saturation—like a memory fading to gray. Maybe it’s not surprising, but it’s oddly beautiful, isn’t it?
Indeed, there is a strange grace in the fading; the deeper the water, the more the world becomes a quiet, silent echo.
