Inspired by a NASA satellite image showing the Earth at night. The dark side of the planet is illuminated by the glow of cities, with North and South America in the foreground. Along the right edge appears a thin, bright arc — daylight on the other side of the world.
The interplay of light and shadow, of human activity and natural order, reveals the fragility and beauty of our planet. That contrast forms the inspiration for this painting.
