Large Magellanic Cloud Drawing

My current practice is an exploration of one's own fascination with the universe, the unknown also being one of the greatest fears. The natural curiosity of human beings has progressed to extreme levels of knowledge, yet this wisdom is nothing in comparison to what still remains unanswered. Most of us rely on technology to experience phenomena in the deeper outer space; this safety net is our means of survival also providing a greater chance to explore the natural, interconnected processes and consciousness. By using publicly released images of a particular nebula as a starting point, I create drawings that self-reflect on the medium: the pencil is a vehicle for translating information gathered through research into a visual artifact. The results are semi-fictional, based on secondhand experiences, questioning perception, interpretation and reality.
