Description

Carl Sagan, a brilliant astrophysicist, convince NASA to install a plaque aboard one of its exploring spacecraft’s launched in the early 1970’s. Its mission was to travel interstellar space to be hopefully discovered by extraterrestrial intelligent life form. The plaque provided a road map as to where in the universe these discoverers could find our planet. The artist regarded this act to be a well-intended, ideological based decision but thoughtless and ill conceived. What form of evolutionary development would these visitors have undergone? We have no idea. We could find them to be unwelcomed visitors. In the final stage of composition development the artist has consciously added the enhancement of tentacles twisting in its background to express his concern.
