Galactic Dust Sunsets: Artistic impressions, Science, and the Cosmos.
“The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.” ― Neil deGrasse Tyson

My “Galactic Dust Sun Set Series” captures exact moments in time observed in photographs emphasizing the poignant beauty illuminating the landscape taken at moment of the day’s final rays at sunset. I recorded daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly cycles changes seen in the land-skyscapes. The concept of galactic dust connecting me to the universe opened a doorway from which to view my observations reflected in Neil deGrasse Tyson’s quote above resonated in my core. I became a part of a timeless interconnectedness to the landscape telling a story of the complex exchange between the natural world and the limits we impose upon it. Observing the environment, I employed John Muir as an environmentalist he states, “The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness’’. My forest comprised of rays of light emerging at sunset displayed the transformations seen in the light. Jamie Ellin Forbes
