Saw the splendor

"All around, and reaching out into the deep darkness, he saw himself." So ends the David Lynch poem "Dark Splendor" that inspired the exploration into a world constructed from a mythical panspermia.

Arrival is marked by new life, as the energy existing throughout the universe is re-distributed by asteroids and comets. Transition becomes a sacred space between two worlds, when a dying star releases its iron into the birth process of a cell. The gene of the Urritopsis Dohrnii (immortal jellyfish) becomes an ever-developing landscape. A hive of butterflies is born. Through telescope and microscope, the artist marries the most majestic and minuscule of the earth's metamorphoses into the birth of new worlds defined by the beauty of change, itself. Harruthoonyan's creations conjure the lifetimes that exist within moments, and the glimmers of strangeness that give pause to our ever-evolving subconscious states.
