The birth of the universe is portrayed as a NEBULAIC EMBRYO in one of the many vignettes embedded in the epic "Rebirth of Gaea.”

Using several photos of my daughter, I first assembled a realistic body position for a baby in utero. I took photos of human and animal organs and flesh and recreated her entire body so that it could be revealed under transparent skin. The body is forming from the stars and is “wet” within the womb.

I took several photos of jellyfish and deep-water creatures whose translucent aesthetics seemed to fit with what I imagine an intergalactic womb and umbilical cord might look like.

I wanted the contours of the confining wall to be affected by the foot piercing through it, an homage to Dali’s “Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man.”
