ABOUT

Before language, there was the voice. Before story, breath. ADRASTEIA begins there, in a primal stillness where meaning waits at the edge of sound. Her name belongs to a nymph who cradled the hidden god, and to a moon bound in Jupiter’s relentless pull. Both speak of inevitability: gravity, necessity, fate. The work does not tell; it listens, an echo breathing in silence between thought and sound.
