In the silence after transformation, a body remains suspended between two states of being. Its flesh has begun to disappear beneath a network of cables, metallic limbs, and exposed circuitry. The ground watches through scattered eyes, as if memory itself has become part of the landscape. A faint red glow survives at the center not as power, but as the last vulnerable trace of something once human. The Price of Transcendence reflects on the cost of becoming more than human. It asks whether evolution is liberation, or simply a slower form of disappearance. Here, transcendence is not presented as victory. It is an intimate loss: the moment the body gains access to eternity, but risks losing the self that once needed to be saved.
