I really couldn't understand the level. I don't know if it's because of the writing, or the way the page is organized, or if it was simply because i couldn't interpret it, but i simply didn't understand a thing. A schematic image would be good.

From what i understood, the level is a cruise ship above the water supported by platforms that vary in height. The ceiling and floor of the cruise ship are separate, supported by said platforms.

Quick explanation: (please do not open this if you want to think about it for a bit longer)

+ show block

Firstly, there is no ceiling, just a vast opening. Some books are just scattered all over the place and they represent the struggle of the writer: their works are never enough, and the worst is to be thrown away, forgotten if necessary. The metaphor behind the poem is the magnum opus of the writer, their final work, the proof of their courage (symbolised by the red dye, but that's not really important) to press forward and give their all. It is the work they will be known for in the future, for the ship, at the end, may as well have sunk to reflect this, but we'll never know.

If you still think this is very confusing, that's a-okay. I haven't written in clinical tone in like, forever, so this page is definitely not the best thing I have created. Then again, the interpretation was the point of the experiment, and it didn't have to succeed, strictly speaking. Thanks for the comment! Let me know if you change your mind, or not.

Please mind the Forest.

Hmmm now I get the concept. I really liked it, and congratulations on the publication! A cruise separated into platforms that change in height, with a non-existent ceiling and walls and shelves with books scattered around.
