The series’ catalyst was a documentary about volcanologists Maurice and Katia Krafft who were caught in a pyroclastic flow and died on Mount Unzen in 1991. Their story provides a metaphor for the unadulterated power that can surge uncontrollably from within - with lethal consequences when underestimated or misconstrued.
