Description
*French for "a place of forgetting."
Ever since I watched the movie First Knight, years ago, the romantic horror of an oubliette stayed with me.
The idea of there really being a place where people were put, not to be tortured, but simply left, to be forgotten, with no hope of escape was beyond my comprehension.
Imagine, no light but what enters from above, if that, a place you can never visit again.
The smell of death and remains of others who were condemned to starve in not only their own waste, but that of the previous residents as well.
Not even screams of other prisoners being heard.
Nothingness.
Forgotten as if to be erased. No burial. No acknowledgement that you ever existed.
Don't ask what I was saying, here. I couldn't tell you. I do know I did not want to show despair. I wanted a quiet strength. An awareness and acknowledgement that only comes from a place of inner resilience and peace.
Something tells me she's not afraid.
Something tells me her captors are.

Once in a blue moon, I do one just for me ...
Of course, I have to give props to the Perfect V4 series. The only one I don't have is Perfect Feet V4, but it's in my cart awaiting payday. ;D
My favorite character, Ann, by addy.
And, I am playing with my favorite dress, Maiden Fair Dynamic Gown, by Optitex, available at Daz (although I love all he creates).
Back to work I go :D

Excellent work. Nice play of lights and shadows...
despair indeed, a beautiful darkness and you certainly showed her strength.
Truly amazing use and control of the lighting!
this is fantastic!! like it so much!
splendid !!
Interesting lighting effect. I am not sure it could be achieved with the moonlight coming through the one hole at the top. It looks more like it comes from at least three lights. It is very bright. To me, the title calls for a more subdued lighting. Dim lighting is a lot harder to do; making the scene look dark, but having enough light to show the details you want seen, especially with Poser lights. I sometimes "fix" the lights with post work.
