Darko is a brooding assemblage that channels a surreal, cinematic presence. A rabbit-like figure—ghostly and semi-obscured—emerges from a darkened landscape, rendered in midnight hues. To its side, an exposed lens and mechanical remnants of a camera eye loom from a shadowbox, merging analog vision with haunting stillness. The surface textures evoke scorched skies and dreamlike environments, hinting at a narrative both dystopian and divine.
