So-called natural elements are grounding such that Agents' social being, in isolation, in being dwarfed, is grounded. That this is not separate from Agents' social being, but rather central to Agents' realization as social beings, is one effect.

That the photographs of the artist Kenji Yanobe inside nuclear-safe capsules while being in Chernobyl are aesthetically pleasing is troubling to one. One narrative theory is that in desiring the apocalypse it is continually deferred.
