Bringing Down a Star

Inspired by: Winslow Homer, Gathering Berries

mixed media collage

Humans have always manipulated the environment for their own benefit, and in this collage I wondered about what it would mean to me if some being brought down a star from the sky. Merely to see or experience something beautiful like this is enough, end then we would return it. A catch and release. Curiosity with respect for how natural objects exist without us, in their pure form.
