This piece was created to convey our understanding of the universe and our place among it. The design of the piece was made to resemble that of an Armillary sphere (a measuring and mapping device used by astronomers). Mirrors were utilized to reflect our universe. The center plane is representative of the plane of existence and the two-mirrored sides each represent a universe parallel to each other with ours in between. When lined up, these mirrors reflect infinity, a universe within a universe that goes on forever. Theoretically this is believed to be the case with black holes, as such the flip side to this universe is a black hole, to better represent this idea. The center of the galaxy illuminates in the dark to reflect all the stars etched into the blue acrylic glass.
