The call of the void

You know this format from stories: a frame, a sentence, a tap. We use it the same way, only the story is a painting and it does not disappear after a day. Tap or swipe ↓

In Karolina’s paintings it is either cold or warm.

I really can feel the temperature coming off the canvas, though I have no idea what powers she uses to do it.

The painting nods to the French phrase L’appel du vide, the call of the void.

That hard-to-explain, sudden urge to do something dangerous or irrational that you have no intention of actually doing.

One day I will think about all that more seriously.

For now I am still picking my jaw up off the floor: Karolina put a sprig of dill in this freezer too.
