Exupery’s Skies

This is a story about a crisis. Pain, rage, and love overwhelm my heroine,
she cries to the dark sky and dissolves into it.

This painting is an illustration of a friend's poem. In the poem, the protagonist suffers a crisis and identifies with Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's Little Prince. Bittersweet thoughts about beauty and impermanence of our existence permeate the poem. The protagonist points to the space surrounding our planet, as a place where we came from and where we will return.
