Lucy Lu - Theme 4: Cosmos

HEY. So I wanted to recreate aspects of the universe with fabric and other materials. A lot of what we know about the "cosmos" has to be an extrapolation. Due to the sheer size and complicated nature of everything, it's hard for us to wrap our minds around what a particular planet, star, or galaxy is actually like. The first photo is supposed to be a planet against the sun. I wanted to capture the silhouette to emphasize how small, and lonely a planet can be compared to the sun. (and realistically earth is much much much smaller) We often forget that the sun and earth don't exist for us but are spectacular, individual entities with "lives" of their own. The second photo is my interpretation of the creation of the universe. I feel as if all the contents of the universe has been somehow harmoniously, and beautifully tossed, dispersed, and suspended. Space and time itself are theoretically much like a stretch of fabric, not as abstract as we usually think it is. 

Let me know your thoughts, thanks!
