Cosmic DNA

After 3 months of building and sculpting, this prismatic fractal that creates the molecular structure of who we truly are, was brought into existence.

Panda sculpted 10,000 hearts by hand. She used approximately 5,500 of the hearts she sculpted by hand to create this work of art. 

Through life’s struggles we are able to explore parts of ourselves we would never get a chance to know.

Contemplating our existence on this Earth and trying to understand the point of it all, with so much darkness surrounding us— it’s brought a lot of fears out in Panda. Those fears catapulted me in a few directions. The positive aspect of it was that I started learning about some things that would ultimately end up easing my mind and inspiring me throughout this sculptural journey. 

Did you know that the elements we’re created from through nucleosynthesis come from the stars? I had no idea! I smiled when I found this out so I wanted to share that with you in case you didn’t know. 

YOU

are a star. 

It’s what 

you’re 

made of.

If you don’t believe Panda just google- 

Are humans made of stars?

So don’t forget—

When life brings you down or really starts putting you through it,

remind yourself who you are— 

YOU ARE A F*€KIN STAR!!!

Panda’s process of creation—

One of Panda’s favorite things about this sculpture is she had no clue what she was going to create when she started. She always come up with lots of different ideas in her head and then picks one as she starts working. She didn’t do that with this sculpture. She just let her hand place each heart where it was supposed to go. No thought. Just movement. Week by week it started becoming what it was supposed to be. That’s the intuitive magic of creativity we all possess— You just have to believe you can do it.
