Cathedral Fire: Infant Star Writing Hymns in Dust I wanted to show how a single newborn sun sculpts its own sanctuary, carving nave and altar from the cloud that formed it. Here I ask whether creation is a warmth that blesses or an edge that erases: an ionization window like stained glass, shock-front gilding, and a ribbon of folded light tracing the limit of comprehension. This image investigates sacred silence made visible as standing-wave sheets, the buttressed pillar dissolving into lace under ultraviolet grace, and beads of dark birth retreating as the choir of radiation swells.
