Inspired by Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, the cells of our body are a galaxy still waiting to be understood. The left painting is a close up look of the inside of our body and on the right, the universe. The artwork is in two pieces to signify the double lives people with MS sometimes lead. When it's a good day everything is bright and we can spend it with our friends and family. On a bad day, it's like falling through space with vertigo and being alone to find your way back to normal.
