Underground Rainbow

“I was walking down a flooded street on my way to work when I noticed bubbles emerging from cracks in the asphalt. I took out my phone, wondering if at any moment the ground would give way to a sinkhole and I would disappear into a chasm. I wanted to express that underground feeling. This is a meditation, a moment of rest and resilience before resistance, for all who feel oppressed.”

—Dimitry Saïd Chamy
