We are made of stardust and carry the universe within us. Inspired by the Pillars of Creation, the room invites you to ponder the delicate equilibrium between the forces of creation and destruction.
Upon entering the room you find yourseld before a nascent star. Brilliant light seeps through its cracked surface. Two swirling columns surge with turbulent matter. Here you can witness their majestic power from a crystalline bed, perfectly positioned to behold the transcendent beauty of celestial creation. Further within a void it is looming, dark and enigmatic.
Surrender to weightlessness, gaze towards the radiant dawn and allow the wonders of the cosmos to ignite your spirit and awaken your imagination.
