Inspiration from Carl Sagan: The project draws inspiration from Carl Sagan’s profound words: “The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.” These eloquent words serve as both the foundation and the guiding force, shaping the visual and conceptual dimensions of the piece.

Each stroke, color choice, and typographic element contributes to the overall narrative, creating a harmonious blend of artistic expression and profound contemplation.

Significance: “Trick the Light” is more than an artistic creation; it is a reflection on our cosmic origins and the interconnectedness of humanity with the universe.
