THE BARNETT’S SPARK
"Jacob Barnett was diagnosed with autism at age two. Despite the odds, Jacob found a love for the field of theoretical physics which helped to draw him out of his silent world. The story of this is detailed in the bookThe Spark, published by Random House. The book is an international bestseller. Jacob is now researching Loop Quantum Gravity and Quantum Foundations at Perimeter Institute for Advanced Theoretical Physics inWaterloo, Canada." -JacobBarnett.com
Months ago, my friend told me about his story and this book. It such a blast and I'm blown away by his story through his mom's memoir, THE SPARK. I decided to make a tribute for Barnett family. I choose the scene of Jacob when he was writing math equations on the windows and it took several sketches, character, background and colour development. I used the noun "Spark" itself to incorporate elements of sparks and overall design. For final touch, I combined the geometric elements in this illustration to represent the applied sciences, physics and mathematics.
