This is a drawing of a simple geometric outline and a block of text. The drawing consists of a minimalistic sketch of an irregular shape resembling a shallow bowl or a planar surface. Below the drawing, there is a block of text that reads: 

"Emil decided long ago this would be his great escape. By leaving the ground, with all of its linear configurations and complexities, he would be able to attain a new and more enlightened state of existence. In this state, patterns of movement would cease to be patterns at all, but non-repetitive propulsions through an ethereal space that is fantastic and boundless."
