Abyssus Abyssum Invocat

when the deep calls out to the deep.

Abyssus Abyssum Invocat is a conceptual project centred on black apparel as a carrier of symbolism, atmosphere, and occult presence. Rooted firmly in a dark aesthetic, the project explores enigmatic visual language drawn from ritual, mysticism, and underground culture.

Through carefully crafted imagery and restrained design, Abyssus Abyssum Invocat seeks to translate occult sensibilities into wearable form — not as fashion in the conventional sense, but as an extension of identity and affiliation. The focus lies on subtle provocation, symbolism, and tonal coherence rather than overt statement.

As part of the broader Vespertine Offering ecosystem, the project reflects a continued interest in how darkness, ritual, and visual storytelling can manifest beyond photography and books, extending into physical objects and material culture.

Abyssus Abyssum Invocat is currently on hold.
