#{passage}

Tsarskiy Kurgan, Kerch, Crimea, 4th century BCE.

The structure features a unique corbelled system, where each successive layer of stone protrudes slightly inward to create a vault. This specific 36-meter-long entrance passage is called a dromos.

It is widely believed to have been the final resting place of a ruler of the Bosporan Kingdom, Leukon I.

For context this was under a staircase at a school, and it was giving me Michael Distortion vibes

A spontaneous painting inspired by stone's colors. Huge tall bridges, endless and shifting from one to another, leading you through different lands. A common motif in my dreams, and for me it often starts with a railway bridge.
