The Pillars of Creation and Destruction
A part of the artwork is formed by NASA’s famous image of the pillars of creation. It is named so because the gas and dust are in the process of creating new stars while also being eroded by the light from nearby stars that have recently formed. Taking forward the image as metaphor we see a female deity, one akin to Shiva, a creator and destroyer, shooting the energy of creation from one hand while the black hole in her other turns everything around it into nothingness.
