"You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sound. A dimension of sight. A dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into... The Twilight Zone."

Fragility etched in porcelain and ink—
A mask broken, bleeding silence into the void.
Identity splintered, beauty found in ruin.

This piece captures the haunting tension between concealment and collapse. A ghostly face, part mask and part flesh, splinters into cracks from which black ink seeps downward like unspoken wounds. The visage dissolves into stark emptiness, emphasizing the fragility of identity and the quiet weight of hidden suffering. The minimalistic void surrounding it amplifies the presence of absence—what is lost, broken, or fading. Echoes of the Fractured Self reveals the paradox of masks: meant to protect, yet inevitably breaking open to expose the truths they cannot contain.

In the hush of fog and flame, the trees remember what we forget — that beauty is often born from stillness.

Where Silence Grows captures a moment suspended between breath and memory. Tall birch trees rise through a veil of mist, their fiery crowns glowing against a muted gray sky. The painting explores the quiet strength of nature — how it stands, endures, and burns softly even in the fog of fading seasons. The warm autumn tones evoke both transience and peace, a reminder that stillness, too, can be alive.

Oranges Laub kleidet den Baum,schön wie ein magischer Traum.Die Schaukel hängt am alten Ast,vom Wind gestreichelt,einsam fast.Das Kinderlachen fast verweht,doch ein zartes Echo in der Luft noch steht.Ein leises Atmen ihn bewacht,der Wald bewahrt was einst gemacht.Habt einen schönen Tag ihr Lieben🍂🫶🍁

No. 7
City Under the Sea (1965)
Dir. Jacques Tourneur
A lost city beneath the sea.
Loosely based on the Poe poem The City in the Sea. "The waves now have a redder glow, the hours are breathing faint and low."
Sea men & diving suits were well designed. Need more Sea Men action!🤔

Apologies I just saw this, BS notifications don't work very well.

Wonderful list, I have not seen any. I am mixing up old, new and already seen stuff. I couldn't finish Bring Her Back, just something was too brutal about what was happening to the kids. Istopped 40 minutes from the end.
