Overview
Oil, 24 x 24 in, 2020
Happy Earth Day! The Overview Effect is a cognitive shift in awareness reported by some astronauts while viewing the Earth from space.
From space, the Earth is immediately understood to be a tiny, fragile ball of life, hanging in the void, shielded by a paper-thin atmosphere. The conflicts that divide people seem naive and parochial. National boundaries vanish, encouraging a sense of unity with all of humanity and life on Earth. We are reminded that we are one. The need to create a cooperative planetary society with the united will to protect this planet becomes both obvious and imperative. We really are all in this together.
“When we look down at the earth from space, we see this amazing, indescribably beautiful planet. It looks like a living, breathing organism. But it also, at the same time, looks extremely fragile … Anybody else who’s ever gone to space says the same thing because it really is striking and it’s really sobering to see this paper-thin layer and to realize that that little paper-thin layer is all that protects every living thing on Earth from death, basically. From the harshness of space.”
-Ron Garan, Astronaut

The planets if they were all dancers and in a fierce tournament arc. They have drama like you cannot comprehend.
For class!

Pluto being the size of Australia blows my fucking mind. It definitely helps contextualize why it got demoted to dwarf planet.

The 8th house sign is not talked enough in astrology, the 8th house beside other things represents your intimacy, the 8th house is a powerful house, is a very sensible point in your chart.
Earth and Water Signs in the 8H can take this "intimacy" to another level since they can deeply connect with themselves
While Fire and Air signs in the 8H show much more excitement to discover their intimacy and their desires

🪨Kagami as an Earth Bender Kyoshi warrior🪨
Did a poll on ig, and most of my followers voted for Kagami, so here comes her ATLA design as an earth bender! ❤️
One of my friends mentioned to me that Kagami, in their opinion, would rather be a Kyoshi warrior instead so I thought, "why couldn't she be both?"
So I made her into an earth bender who also happens to be a Kyoshi warrior, hence her fan and her make-up! I kinda like how her design turned out (even though I struggled a lot with it 😂especially with the colors 🙈).
Hope you like it guys! ❤️❤️
The next one will be Luka! 👀
