The Engines Hum For Nobody

Collection

Description

Right rudder, steer three-zero degrees, take her down deep and catch her at eighty fathoms. Dive, dive… Be warned to not disturb sentinels of the deep, lest your craft witness unfortunate fates among this liquid graveyard. Clear the bridge, secure hatches and vents! Unsteady as she goes, probing depths in this silent habitat seldom seen by man. Underwater tourism for those who wish to own the world by diving beneath it. “The Engines Hum For Nobody”, 1/1 digital 3D collage in three aspect ratios: 16:9 dimensions: 1920 x 1080 at 222mb (2 versions: with sound and silent), 1:1 dimensions 1080 x 1080 at 129mb (2 versions: with sound and silent), 9:16 dimensions 1080 x 1920 at 223mb (2 versions: with sound and silent), duration: 0:45.
