In the Land of the Giants (Spirals and Stars)
2012

A surreal artwork featuring a central black hole surrounded by a ring of red dots and white stars, with rays emanating outward. A crow perches on a rocky outcrop to the left, while a figure in a blue coat stands to the right. Above, a reclining figure with a purple hat is surrounded by floating stone heads. The scene is framed within a white border.
