One of the paintings in the Elements Series, this painting depicts Ether, or Space. The woman’s body emerges from the light emitted from the center of a spiral galaxy. This galaxy is called N-64, chosen particularly because of its resemblance to a bird nest, and its name to the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching, an ancient Chinese divination text from about 1000 BC.

Floating about are five convex polyhedrons that depict the solid geometrical shapes Plato associated with each of the elements. Also floating around the figure are three mitochondria, the organisms in each cell that convert food into energy, that contain their own DNA.

As the light energy rises through the chakras (energy centers along the spine) the woman’s body takes on material form. The heart chakra is depicted as a portal of crystals. Thus this painting is about the fact that our bodies, and indeed all material forms, are light energy more than solid matter.
