THE MILK ROUTE

The thought of galaxies with their many planets is spooky. Does life await us on them? Perhaps this thought inspired this homage to the odyssey of space. For this creation, special UV paint was used, sprayed over the body to create the tiny details. Later, the artist could paint on the other, more intricate colors.

A black light is used to finally bring this creation to life. Under black light, the UV color glows and thus becomes visible in the dark. The black light emits UV light that is absorbed by the fluorescent particles. The particles then reflect it back so that they appear to glow.
