DETAILS:

This image and series of images is an introspective piece about ones past and how it affects the present/future.  The Cosmonaut symbolizes one’s self and one’s life journey. The person is shown as an explorer, balanced between worlds, between past and present. The face is covered with a helmet to make the cosmonaut anonymous, so the audience can project themselves into the image.  The cosmonaut is on fire, a metaphor for past trauma perhaps self destructive behavior.  The Cosmonaut is in a fetal position, almost like a rebirth, floating between two worlds (what is and what could be or the past and the future).
