KOMA

The concept of Koma is that of someone coming in contact with inorganic beings that exist in some sub-conscience, sub-unverisal realm. It is a first hand internal dialogue of someone drifting out of life, consciousness, and human form. There are sporadic instances of intense flashes of light that are characteristic to sever migraines and loss of consciousness, which develop a disorienting feel.   
I drew inspiration from the work of Ben Frost and Tarkovsky, I found this quote from Tarkovsky’s film Stalker particularly interesting and relevant- 

“Here we are at the threshold. This is the most important moment of your lives. You have to know that here your most cherished wish will come true. The most sincere one.
The one reached through suffering.”  -Stalker
