As she rotates on cones of invisible thrust the Tribute to Malthus is bathed in the light of ancient suns, revealing the trompe l'oeil patterning that crawls across her surface - Checkerboards of false perspective - astral nymphs atop ruined pillars - nebulae crowded around a heavenly host - Countless fantastic interiors imagined by the idle whimsy of deathless minds

You are the last witness to the games of the rich - To their distorted and inhuman form - To the final pieces that make them human - As you witness them, they are lost

Tribute to Malthus was made for Fermijam 2016
