“Day”, “Dawn” and “Dusk”
“Day”, “Dawn” and “Dusk form a series of three pieces inspired by the AppleTV adaptation of Asimov's Foundation books. Now available on Foundation.app.
In the story, the empire is ruled by the same man cloned over and over again. Three clones are alive at any one time - Dawn, Day and Dusk. Due to this supreme conceit, the empire stagnates and falls because nothing new is created to deal with an ever changing reality.
Day (left) is a woman in the prime of her life, fulfilling her potential and enjoying her time in the sun. Even as she lives, she knows her time is limited and rapidly slipping away.
Dawn (centre) is a baby girl, so new to this world that she doesn’t even realise that she is a separate person to her mother. She represents the future, but as yet is entirely ignorant of the world.
Dusk (right) is a woman whose time is drawing to a close. She looks back on the things she has achieved, the people she has loved and lost. She fades, blending into the colour around her.
The three characters from the story are re-imagined as female to represent the fundamental truth and reality of creation. The bringers of new life, who necessarily must decay and make way for the next generation.
