The boundaries of the universe and reality are unknowable. Inspired by a simplified model of black holes, Imminent Horizon imagines the journey toward the event horizon of a black hole, where all light is trapped to never return. This work journeys dramatically and inevitably toward the singularity, finally returning to an inverted restatement of the very opening. This ambiguous ending reflects the idea of the information paradox: is something that goes into a black hole permanently lost? Is there a new universe, or does the original material radiate slowly, transformed and diminished? The answers lie beyond that imminent horizon, if one could survive it.
