The end of the world is a truly horrific scenario for us humans. The flames of humanity extinguished, snuffed out as easily as a candle. This catastrophe will undoubtedly be at the hands of our own doing and while this may be all doom and gloom for us, it's party time for the rest of the natural world.

Alchemy concerns itself with the transmutation of matter. Traditionally, alchemists attempted to turn base metals into gold, discover elixirs that would grant immortality and abolish disease. Whilst much of this medieval science may have been defunct and replaced with modern science and chemistry, the art of alchemy is still very much alive thanks to artists like Fran de Anda.
