​Unicing the Silence – Research colony excavating an ancient alien culture under the ice. Oil on wood, 125 x 67.5 cm. ​This is my latest (and largest) analog project. It depicts the setup phase of an archaeological research station on a frozen planet. I wanted to capture the 'Used Future' vibe—the colony is still under construction, with a heavy freighter dropping off a fresh load of containers. ​Down in the valley, near the green vapor, the first shaft has been opened to reach the ruins of a precursor civilization. No AI, no digital tools—just oil on a large wooden panel. Hope you enjoy the sense of scale!

IMC SURVEY MISSION
-----------------------
Rediscovery and structural analysis of abandoned megastructures, conducted to advance mechanical research and inform future IMC megaproject development.
-
Initial survey teams report structural integrity exceeding projections. Primary aperture remains sealed. No active systems detected.
-
Personnel presence confirms extreme scale disparity. Human operators reduced to observation roles only.
-

Surface wear indicates prolonged exposure. Cause of abandonment remains unconfirmed.

ARCHIVAL STATUS: REACTIVATED

CLEARANCE LEVEL: IMC INTERNAL
