Like the tentacles of a kraken, the serpent-dragon's arms coil around empty spaces that are wrapped and twisted around themselves.

The moon and the stars orbit around themselves, each forming their own cosmos, separate from the dominant spiral nebula and the cosmic river on the horizon, and connected to the whole by means of forceful brushstrokes alone
