After reading the two books "A brief history of time" and "The grand design" by Stephen Hawking I was inspired by the physical insights and the way he explains them. I created a surrealistic series of images, where every image belongs to another theses of one of Hawking's books. The results were 15 surreal photographs, where every single one stands as an artwork on its own but still refer to a physical aspect. This image was inspired by Stephen Hawkings thesis about Carbon Element: "For beings such as humans to exist, the carbon must be moved from inside the star to friendlier neighborhoods. That, as we’ve said, is accomplished when the star, at the end of its life cycle, explodes as a supernova, expelling carbon and other heavy elements that later condense into a planet." Stephen Hawking, „The grand design“, 2010, p. 127
