“Nommos” by Elia Alba
“The work revolves around the mythology of a tribe in Africa called the Dogon in Mali. I was fascinated when I heard about a group of anthropologists who went to study the tribe. The people knew a lot about the galaxy that could only be seen through a telescope. The narrative is that one Nommos came down and regenerated into seven. They broke off into seven, which is the oral history how the seven seas were created.”
