BEDROOMS, RADIOACTIVE SOCKS  AND BLACK HOLES

BEDROOMS, RADIOACTIVE SOCKS AND BLACK HOLES

A simulation of a bedroom, not a million miles from here... Without a constant input of intelligence, energy and design, my sons’ bedroom quickly succumbs to the second law of thermodynamics. Decay ravages the once-tidy cupboards, the beds, the furniture and the décor, until they are all unrecognizable.
