About
Fabin Rasheed is the title given to one of the human embodiments of existence, being observed by the universe as part of its flow. In the context of causality and in the realm of society, this character engages with art, technology, and consciousness, exploring the void... the nothingness, at the heart of all existence. Yet, at the same time, Fabin tends towards boundlessness and unification such as to feel the numinosity of the universe - which is channeled into the creations that Fabin is given the chance to bring forth.
