This is a striking textile piece with tremendous presence. The image shows an impressive work featuring a central figure with flowing white hair and a dark garment, surrounded by a circular arrangement of celestial bodies resembling planets. The entire composition is set against a deep black background dotted with countless stars, creating a cosmic atmosphere.
A serene sentinel stands at the threshold between worlds, crowned by a planetary halo. At 330 x 200 cm this commanding textile work merges humanity with the cosmos. Hand-embroidered stars illuminate the void while meticulously crafted planets orbit the ethereal figure with flowing silver-white hair. The dark form, bordered with ancient silver ribbon, represents our divine nature. The reverse reveals gold script proclaiming "ALL THE ANSWERS ARE INSIDE" - a reminder that we contain the universe within. Our aura, our aureola, is the cosmic light we both absorb and reflect, dissolving the boundary between observer and observed.
