Description "Built for a utopian, steam-powered future that never came, the Oracle is the defunct heart and soul of that bright, brass city of dreams that has now fallen into disrepair and ruin. She is ever vigilant even in decay, her gears and cogs churning without pause; the people may all be gone, but the empty streets still whirr and hiss with the breath of her dreams."

"The Oracle". Watercolour on paper, 2013.

The first of a triptych for a steampunk exhibition in Seoul, March 2014.

Damn this is wonderful and powerful!

Great imagery and use of color. The steam rising to me shouts that the

industrial planet she watches over shall never stop breathing.
(Not to seem like I stole that right from your description, of course). O.o
