The Parting of Galaxies

The artist tries to imagine the impossible vastness of the Universe which is almost unfathomable to the speck of human beings inhabiting a speck in the cosmos we call Earth. The Universe is itself own living entity. All the galaxies, nebulae, stars, black holes and planets are all living entities. In this work entities millions of light years across in size are interacting with each other a truly magnificent scale, breathing, powerful, shaping the cosmos with their dust and their magnetic energies, as we entities, dust atop a particle of dust in that swarming cluster of dust try to fathom how these entities are shaping our destinies. The artist chooses to express their power and grandeur with the fragility and delicate qualities of paper and paper-like materials like polypropylene. This material can burn. Stars also burn. It is one and the same thing.
