Cathedral Pillars, Lit From Within By First Light I wanted to show how a single infant star carves worship from chaos, its radiance chiseling the Carina pillars into sacred architecture. Here I ask whether creation feels like heat at the skin of matter: ionization fronts as altars, Kelvin–Helmholtz scrolls as incense, and a reverberation veil where silence thickens into glass around the newborn sun. This image investigates the ache of scale by setting a tiny, searing core against continent-sized dust, so the viewer stands where comprehension thins and warmth remains.
