INTI: “A Pale Blue Dot” in Grenoble

Muralist Inti finished a metaphorical mastery in Grenoble, France last month that helps us to put ourselves in perspective, remembering that in the system of planets we reside in, the earth is just one minor player. This rising giant, perhaps goddess in a hand-tied apron and silenced by a flower, holds the globe in her hand.

Quoting the astronomer, planetary scientist, cosmologist, astrophysicist, Carl Sagan, Inti imparts an observation he is contemplating; “…Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.” (Carl Sagan)
