Art "Elysian Plane" by Kudashkina
To create a better world, we must first behold it in our mind’s eye, then build it. The Elysian Plain, or ‘Elysium’, was in Greek mythology, a place of perfect happiness inhabited by heroes. We are them, we simply must find that plane of existence, then hold the thread until we arrive. The idea for this painting came from a short story a friend told of a people that, in order for their planet to survive, they needed to leave its natural star. In order to have heat and light, they needed to create their own. This is that star. These people are untethered, in deep, dark space, warm and alive, circling nothing, on the Elysian Plane.
