About honest materials, imitations, and the silent longing for authenticity # The aesthetics of Severance and what it triggers in me # The series Severance on Apple TV+ not only tells a dystopian story about the divided self—it also depicts a world that deeply moves me aesthetically. Clean lines, coordinated shades of green, wood paneling, simple textures: all of this creates an atmosphere of order and tranquility, but also alienation. It is an artificial world—and that is precisely what makes it so fascinating.
