We are all made of stars.
The iron in our blood; the carbon in our cells; the calcium in our bones. All these elements were forged inside dying stars as heavier and heavier elements are fused together when stars lose their battle against gravity. When the star finally expires in natures most spectacular firework show - the Nova, these elements are spread throughout the universe to create life elsewhere. This is where we came from. Our own sun awaits this fate too, and it's death will fuel life elsewhere. The cycle repeats until entropy has used all the universe's energy.
We are all made of stars.
This series of images is a whimsical look at our species' long fascination with the heavens, and Man's desire to reach the stars... to go back to our beginnings... to go home.
