Both sonically and visually, Tenebrilis evokes the unnamable – an atmosphere suspended between shadow and light, a form that slowly unfolds like a dense fog saturated with darkness. The piece oscillates between tension and trembling, between distinct structure and evanescence. Here, darkness is not merely the absence of light – it is a living element that breathes, moves, and resonates.

Tenebrilis

The piece Tenebrilis draws its name from the Latin tenebrae – meaning “darkness” – and the Latin-like suffix -ilis, which suggests a state, quality, or characteristic. The title can be interpreted on multiple levels: as a metaphorical essence of darkness, as a state of immersion in shadow, or as the name of a being woven from darkness – an entity of fluid, ethereal nature that eludes precise definition.

Tenebrilis also portrays a subtle struggle between the ephemerality of human thought and the constant, overwhelming influx of information. Luminous forms symbolizing consciousness stand beneath a waterfall of dark current, where ideas attempt to crystallize amid a chaotic torrent of data. It is a metaphor for contemporary reality, in which valuable thoughts drown in a flood of information, and deep reflection becomes a rarity.
