A cosmic ray is a particle beam produced from a high-energy source in outer space, like the Sun; it is the very reason why astronauts cannot spend much time in space due to their radioactive nature, and contribute partially to auroras as they collide upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere. A cosmic ray and sunlight are essentially the same, excretions of the Sun in different intensities, encapsulating its multipolar nature; encompassing creation, destruction, or any binary. It is a fountain of difference, for the Sun itself created the Solar System. Nearly all creatures on Earth consume crystallized sunlight, superseding planetary scales and logic. Inspired by the transcendental landscapes of Agnes Pelton, and the dreamyness, palette and softness of Tisa Tsuchiya, the painting proposes a stylized and ambiguous cosmic ray, or a group of organs, a bodily arrangement of nodules. Ultimately, beyond humanly beneficial, travelling across space yet atomic in size, thinking of them opens the door to reflect about our relationship to nature beyond modern and anthropocentric perspectives regarding utility, or progress.
