An occasional chance in the summer allowed me to be exposed to the field of history of the

universe. During the class, I was taught that as numerous numbers of advanced technologies

being invented, we are able to know more about what our cosmos is like, eg. there are between

100-200 billion galaxies in the observable universe. These huge numbers can easily make people

feel insignificant in comparison and this depressed feeling is so common in our culture, in which

indeed derives from the Newtonian assumption that in an incomprehensibly vast, cold universe

we are, to quote the famous biologist Stephen Jay Gould, a “fortuitous cosmic afterthought.”

This dark and terrifying theory inspires me to do a 3D piece related to it but in a colorful way

that one might feel positive after watching it. The plot of the story centers on a girl’s mind while

she’s floating on the ocean and looking at the sky. Other cosmic objects are revealed in her eyes

by the following hierarchy -  star clusters, galaxies, cosmic web, and eventually a supermassive

black hole. But instead of fear, the black hole becomes a colorful, non-threatening portal leading

to ultimate freedom.
