Panel sixteen of sixteen from the project Origin, is an acrylic on board illustration that depicts the Venus of Willendorf as the maternal creator of all life. The Venus' form gently supports a massive nautilus creature, whose spiraled shell holds sixteen panel scenes from Origin, symbolizing the unfolding of life itself. Each pocket within the nautilus’ shell reveals a unique moment of creation, emphasizing the nurturing, cyclical nature of existence whether by mythical or practical means. Beneath the scene, black holes dot the floor of the primordial ocean, representing the mysterious and unknown realms that lie beyond the boundaries of human understanding, evoking a sense of awe and cosmic wonder.
