A window to the inside

Looking to myself trying feel you
I find a void that is not empty
Lights and shadows that build who I am
My inside is glitched, broken and distorted
And that makes me unique
A treasures of time, a miracle of space
Endless and limited
Sculpted by experience to be a part of the whole

As deeper I get the more I understand
That we are the same, that we feel the same
That we are in contact by hidden dimensions
And still it's nice to touch your hand

Most of the magic is happening in a custom render engine (ray marching algorithm) inside the fragment shader so the piece does a heavy use of the GPU.
