Ignacio Torres: "Stellar"

“This project began from the theory that humans are made of cosmic matter as a result of a stars death. I created imagery that showcased this cosmic birth through the use of dust and reflective confetti to create galaxies. The models organic bodily expressions as they are frozen in time between the particles suggest their celestial creation. In addition, space and time is heightened by the use of three-dimensional animated gifs. Their movement serves as a visual metaphor to the spatial link we share with stars as well as their separateness through time.”

“Finally, a spaceprobe takes a picture that shows Mars as it has
burned in my mind all these years,” said Stuart Atkinson via Twitter,
who created this mosaic from four separate raw color images taken
by the rover. The images were taken on Sept. 26, 2012 by the right
MastCam on Curiosity, then uploaded yesterday. They provide a
glimpse at the depth and distances the rover’s cameras can see,
with hills and the rim of Gale Crater off in the distance. (The rover is
looking towards the northeast.)
