The Celestial

Description: I was actually inspired by this quote from the book, “Fact then: Somehow, my travels
crossed time as well as distance. Another fact: The boy was the focus of my travels – perhaps the cause of
them.”
I was inspired after reading the graphic novel Kindred. The idea of time travel really appealed to me and with
everything that’s going on in our country I thought about instead of going to the past I wanted to look towards
the future. This is a picture of a creator in a time where race and gender no longer matter and the planet they
inhabit has a symbiotic relationship with them turning people blue like the ocean, green like the trees, brown like
the earth, etc. This is the first part of a series of paintings inspired by the book.
