Description

My second multi-spectral painting weaves together two infrared images taken by JWST of the Pillars of Creation, a star-forming region within the vast Eagle Nebula. Dense regions in the nebula with enough mass undergo gravitational collapse to form new stars and solar systems. The mid-infrared instrument (MIRI) excels at revealing dust and gas, shown in the squares with eerie blue-greys and oranges. The brighter squares add in near-infrared light from NIRCam where thousands of stars come into view—quite literally, because I counted all the stars I painted during this piece at 7695! Why only a partial checkerboard pattern though? I couldn't bring myself to break up the beautiful gradient of colors in the top left region.

This painting took me 3-4 months to complete back in 2023. I hoarded it until now, hanging it on my own wall. It was displayed at The Art of Planetary Science exhibition in February 2025 and won 2nd place in fine art. I believe it's finally time for me to say goodbye.
