DISCLAIMER: I am not an expert on this topic and am prone to errors, but I am obsessed with certain concepts and it shows on my search engine and documentary watch history :3
"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space."
- Dr. Brand to Cooper (Interstellar 2014)
Sooooooo I've ALWAYS been a little bit obsessed with blackholes and I sure do yap about films about it (one of my faves is INTERSTELLAR). When I was conceptualizing this piece, I was doing my film watching for enrichment —aka geeking over black holes and space heheeee >:)))— and I've been really fascinated with the Penrose Diagram of various blackhole solutions. And the Fifth Dimension scene in Interstellar :")

I've always loved the beauty of geometry in design and math even if I am not that good with those, which makes it more interesting to me! I always end up making compositions for pieces that there are just too many words I want to say about it but still can't properly verbalize or even translate properly on art. Still working on it but I so love a challenge! And this piece is really one of those things I would say "man, my skillset is not enough yet but I will make it work!" And they were so right that you do learn by doing it, even if you have no idea how to HAHA.
Then this composition hit like a truck when I was watching about Einstein-Rosen bridges (aka wormholes) AND the Penrose diagram solution for multiple connected wormholes with event horizons aligned at 45 degrees, basically creating repeating mirrors of the multiverse. And yes, I hope you're seeing the amazing parallels of breaking space-time continuum with the Puella Magi Madoka Magica lore.
Here are some symbolisms that I had so much fun to incorporate within the piece:
The modified soul egg design to make a quasi-sand timer but also to follow the Penrose diagram shape that's more egg-shaped and meeting at a single point at event horizon, portrayed as the gravitational red shifting phenomenon (the light loses energy escaping immense gravity that literally the wavelength shifts to red, which is the farthest color in the spectrum with the visible eye)
This is more evident in the WIP stage but there are three planets mirroring each other in the half where God!Madoka and Demon!Homura, symbolizing the dimensional paradox and multiverse.
The poses were referenced from ballet performances, specifically Swan Lake (I am a fan heheh) which also is in line with my idea of a egg-shaped music box (and the soul egg do look like the famed Fabergé eggs and yeah, went ham with the decors ALSOOOO!! See the floor where Magical Girl Madoka and Homura are standing on? The platform was hand-drawn with a very strong nod to a clock-face and a compass (because we know Homura literally broke time to save her north star Madoka).
There were a lot of ideas cooking in my mind but I really was set on my blackhole concept (I know what I want XD). I wanted the piece to be my own gallery of trying and to really incorporate a lot of hidden details for my own amusement~
"More passionate than hope, far deeper than despair. It is Love." - Homura to Madoka (Rebellion)
Standard monograph on determining time of death by insect activity, W. Graham.
Insect evidence may show that the body has been moved to a second site after death, or that the body has been disturbed at some time, either by animals, or by the killer returning to the scene of the crime. However, the primary purpose of forensic entomology today is to determine elapsed time since death. [x]
Mr. Graham himself admits that Mant and Nuorteva in Cesare George Tedeschi’s own essay on the topic are better on insects -it does have more pictures and a table of invasion waves.
