Galaxy on Standby Painting

This piece was inspired by photographs of the Stephan’s Quintet from the James Webb Telescope. It was created in partnership with a residency where the theme was "artists on standby", an exploration of artistic practice during the pandemic. Projecting onto and anthropomorphizing the stars is a long-standing human tradition and I wanted to continue that here with my feelings over the course of the pandemic. The vast distance between the stars became the distances between my friends and colleagues, the gradual movement and collisions of different stars reminded me of the slow but inevitable pace we move at. Looking at this specific system of stars became more aspirational than despondent and made me feel more optimistic about my future.
