Mapping the Cosmos Within the Lines of the Hand

The drawing utilizes boho-inspired illustration techniques to create a multi-layered visual composition. Within this portrait orientation, symbolic representations of feminist family ideals and abstract concepts merge, inviting a closer look at how we interpret our place in the universe. It is a study of human-like traits reflected in the stars, rendered with a precision that feels both scientific and deeply spiritual.
