Credo quia Absurdum
“I believe because it is absurd / impossible / irrational.”A two-person project that studies, lives, and breathes alchemy, symbology, occultism, and world mythology. Inspired by old engraving art, we combine our designs with old folklore tales, creating a place sometimes dark, sometimes brutal, but always human. Each of our creations tells a story – to make you curious again, something to read and talk about!
Credo quia Absurdum is our Aether.
The duality of a volatile and fixed thing, with all the elements and substances coexisting, hopefully strong enough to challenge and unsettle your psyche.
