We are all formed from stars.
All the molecules that make up humans, in-fact, the entire planet and everything on it were created by an ancient exploding star billions of years ago, this is expressed in astronomer Carl Sagan’s famous quote;
“We are all made from stardust.”
Exploring who we are, how we try to group, classify and define ourselves. Ultimately, we transcend culture, religion, gender and race and that we are all deeply connected.
This work is of monochrome geometric shapes juxtaposed against organic paint pouring. Exploring these concepts through mapping, star systems, coding and genetics, this is part of a series of works that connect the lines that draws us all together.

“Understandings of self and
other occur universally through
images. Traversing history and
cultures, the production, presentation and apprehension
of images has been essential to how we come to know ourselves and make sense of our relations with others.
Images reflect different conceptions of what it is to be human and reveal continuities and discontinuities over time.
At a moment of deep global uncertainty, images from the past and present provide a vital and potent medium for envisaging our collective future.”
