Star Birth:
Interstellar Origins Charcoal Art by Gaetan Veno Joachim
From the cosmic womb, ‘Star Birth’ ignites: a genesis of light woven from the universe’s far reaches. This isn’t merely a beginning; it’s the radiant echo of endings, where celestial fire births creation from destruction.

At the heart of this cosmic spectacle, a geometric cube emerges, a solid anchor to the physical realm amid the ethereal expanse. Gold, rose petals, and delicate stems, ephemeral blossoms against the vast canvas of time, remind us of the fleeting beauty inherent in every grand design, a poignant testament to the transient nature of even the most enduring stars.
