This illustration, inspired by the Milky Way's beauty, symbolizes the union of both forms of knowledge—a testament to human curiosity, creativity, observation, experimentation, and discovery. And my love for astronomy! It’s the connection between my analytical mind and creative spirit. - How were your illustrations used?
