Red Hypergiant

Red Hypergiant 2021- 3 - 14sib - Full Score-2022-10-12.pdf

Red Hypergiant symbolizes how tiny humans are compared to the entire universe. Red hypergiant is the largest of the Red Supergiant stars (RSG) is a type of star. The size of Red hypergiants is speculated to be anywhere from 1300 to 1540 solar radii. The size of the star is so large that the human mind cannot compute the actual magnitude of the size in their mind.

Red Hypergiant plays with many different patterns, I designed these patterns in hopes that these patterns exist beyond the intuitive human perception, but to the inquisitive, revealing itself. I wanted to push the boundary of perception, to create something larger than the human mind.
