Bridging the Schism
(Fantasci-fi)
This piece is inspired by my love for both sci-fi and fantasy and how the lines between them can sometimes be blurred or crossed. I find it really interesting how motifs and concepts within the genres can sometimes be interchanged and mingled e.g. sci-fi solves its problems with science, fantasy solves its problems with magic; sci-fi uses science as its magic and fantasy uses magic as its science, etc... Itโs not really that simplistic, but I still find the intersections fascinating and love media that mix and match them like Star Wars, Interworld, The Dark Tower, His Dark Materials, Final Fantasy, Phantasy Star etc...ย
