Contemplate the myths of celestial hunger depicted here with deft craftsmanship, transforming layered paper into a striking representation of the universe’s profound mysteries. The moon glows softly from beneath the ribcage of infinity’s unending ravenous nature. Rich colors and intricate patterns evoke both horror and beauty, inviting you to find light in darkness.
