Escape Room

Milton's cosmos meets Bacon's sealed rooms.

God, Satan, Adam and Eve speak from adjoining interiors where authority, rebellion, selfhood and desire are tested under an unrelenting gaze. Omniscience becomes a form of waiting, defiance a practice of reinvention, identity an unfinished project, freedom something negotiated rather than possessed.

There is no exit. Only the slow illumination of what remains: the body, time, memory, attention, the stubborn persistence of consciousness itself.

In The Escape Room, poet Steve Cranfield burns the old energies of inheritance for fuel, transforming what survives into new forms - power drawn from what refuses to disappear.
