Costas Komborozos

Daedalus' Maze Costas Komborozos

"Somewhere, a secret ocean reveals itself. It expands in a deep shadowy silence that lets time embrace timelessness. But then the ocean of silence becomes a sound that fills the sky. A man hears a loud, thunderous echo. It is a fierce, majestic noise, penetrating every quiet, remote distance in sight. The sun slowly appears from behind a wing-shaped cloud, letting its light cascade down onto the sea. The crash echoes loudly, and then a structure emerges from underneath limitless depths. The loud noise begins to subside and the ocean radiates. It produces a number of paths, which expand into a infinite number of passages. These paths are invisible, merging seamlessly into the blue. But his heart is able to glimpse a secret, meandering road of light across the sea. The man maintains his eyes on the pattern as he stands on a massive rocky outcrop facing the sea. His heart soars and boldly ventures through a passage leading deeper into what appears to him as a way out of the maze. He feels himself flying far above the depths and views its timeless symmetry. He can see how each part of the maze is part of a mystifying whole. The man looks back at his son and motions for him to come and have a look. They both watch the secret ocean fully emerge." A man lost at sea finds himself in a maze designed by an old man who has been trying to escape it for many years.
