**Update: Golem will be featured in Spectrum 27!**

Golem is the most complex & personal work I’ve done in years. In Jewish mythology, a Golem is a man-shaped figure built from inanimate matter (clay, usually) & brought to life by magic. Once activated, a Golem is supposed to be an unstoppable protector of the downtrodden.

We all dream of some large, unstoppable force of good that will smash evil wherever it hides & help usher in the promised world of peace & justice. At every point in human history, people have imagined a singular, righteous force whose sole purpose is to Set Things Right. In short, we all want a hero.

There is no such thing.

And yet... just the idea of this force of justice – the everlasting promise of the Golem – brings out the strength in people. Hope is what keeps us going; hope is what gives us the strength to carry on. The citizens of “Golem” believe, and that belief has transformed them into an army.

The Golem cannot save us. Only we can do that.
