Nebula

Description

This design is part of a collection called SpaceTime, which is Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Spacetime is any mathematical model that fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. In simple terms challenges how Space and Time sit together, and gravity or the lack of it, has something to do with that.

Challenging!

This design is called Nebula which is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other gases which becomes and spiral nebulae.

I felt that this design was so suited to the theme Equilibrium as it is so evenly balanced within the chaos of the nebula shape.
