Works - The Frequency of Light

Shan Ogdemli
Cat's Eye Nebula, 2024
Acrylic and diatomaceous earth on canvas.
60 x 60 in
152 x 152 cm

Inspired by the amazing Cat's Eye Nebula in the constellation of Draco, 3200 light-years away. It is composed of gas expelled by a star that died over 1000 years ago, leaving a white dwarf star at its center. I find it fascinating that the overlapping shapes of the gas clouds also resemble a flower.
