A meeting between science and art to arouse aesthetic emotion in a scientific context. A poetic journey, both into the infinitely large and small, where the human subtly reveals himself among the stars, in the form of body fragments and weightless silhouettes floating in space. A piece of the universe, partly made up of images from Hubble, where bluish transparency, milky nebulae, constellations of twinkling and contrasting stars , mineral samples from unknown lands. An installation of shimmering x-rays squares laser-engraved or painted or in reflective fabric, suspended on nylon threads.
