ural world. Through this panoramic lens, our individual differences of race and culture are reduced to insignificance. A feeling of fellowship, belonging, and connection, the cultivation of empathy and compassion are natural responses to gaining this outlook. Cosmic perspective provides a new and inspiring scientific story of humanity united by our shared atomic origins in stardust. It provides a sense of kinship with all life on earth in our shared genetic evolution over four billion years of development. It provides hope in our capacity to reason and understand the cosmos of which we are part. It necessitates cooperation to preserve and cherish our tiny planet, the only habitable place we know to exist. We are stardust evolved to understand the stars; a tiny part of the universe, become conscious. A meaningful story needs to be interacted with on a regular basis to have lasting impact. Rob’s art is created to be a visual illustration and reminder of this grand perspective, that we might all live more inspired, empathic lives, while innovating a more sustainable way of living.
