"The Stars Are in the Soil" is a collage that invites viewers into a realm where celestial elements merge with earthly textures. Against a rich, dark brown acrylic background, circles of delicate Japanese paper overlap, creating a sense of depth and movement. Abstract cosmic motifs against an earthly backdrop invite contemplation of the interconnectedness in our own existence.
