“You are worthy, our Lord and God,
    to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
    and by your will they were created
    and have their being.”   Revelation 4:11

This work is meant to display God’s wisdom in how intricate and thoughtful everything in our world and the universe is put together. By combining some of the smallest aspects of the human body and the great vastness of the universe, these images are meant to show that even the smallest elements in the universe were created with thoughtfulness and intent.

Outer space is such a vast and unknown place to us which makes us all the more curious about what all is out there. Astronomers have discovered many different and amazing cosmic features including, nebulae, other planets, star fields, black holes, and massive stars. When observing the seemingly infinite wonders of outer space it is easy to forget that the creator of these massive cosmic wonders also created the smallest most complex parts of our own bodies. This is where the idea stemmed from for this series of work which attempts to incorporate the cosmic realm and the microscopic realm in one image.
