Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "[W]e didn't just one day have this information, some one dedicated their precious life to understanding the geology of astronomical structures. I’ve taken for granted the convenience of obtaining information as most of the youth in my generation have without understanding the hardships it took to know and understand these concepts."
