Astral Butterfly

he Astral Butterfly is part of the Cellular to Celestial series — a visual exploration inspired by electron microscope imagery and Hubble deep-space photography. This particular work is based on a Hubble image captured deep within our galaxy, often referred to by scientists as the Astral Butterfly.

Bridging the smallest structures of life with the vastness of the cosmos, this piece reveals a profound symmetry between inner creation and outer space. It invites the viewer to reflect on the wonder of existence — where science and mystery converge, and where the micro and macro echo one another in divine harmony.

The Astral Butterfly stands as a reminder that we are both observers of the universe and participants within it — intricately connected to the grandeur of creation.

“The scientist’ religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.”  Albert Einstein
