Ants for the colony, the colony for the ants.
In a hyper-busy, highly stratified world of ants, marriage has only one purpose: to preserve the colony’s survival. Two queen ants—Queen Gegana and Queen Darojak—compete to become the alpha; the elder refuses to step down, the younger fights for power. The clash between these two factions becomes inevitable, shaking the colony down to its roots.
KOLONI is a fable set in an underground insect world—small, nearly unseen from the surface, often dismissed as insignificant, yet massive, structured, and systematic. A machine with a love letter to corporate grunts. A mirror of the power struggles found in the human world.
