Artwork description:

I'd want to accompany this piece with the beautiful poetry by Nudba (Ink In My Head) that inspired it...._x000D_ _x000D_ Within the lonely tunnels of the underground_x000D_ lurk soft honeysuckle smiles._x000D_ These young hopefuls are surrounded by darkness_x000D_ but in each one, there is a hidden light._x000D_ _x000D_ For some, this light is an idea._x000D_ For others, a burning passion waiting to be exploited._x000D_ But for a select few, this light is their whole self_x000D_ - their being is a treasure yet to be released into the world._x000D_ _x000D_ He is the first light that shone so wildly,_x000D_ I could see it even from within his mind._x000D_ He is dipped in talent and purity,_x000D_ unseen in the higher, filthier realm._x000D_ _x000D_ One day, these hopefuls will surface from the underground._x000D_ And he will be the first spark of this fire_x000D_ that illuminates our hopeless world_x000D_ with the eternal flame of art._x000D_ _x000D_ As my Bright Hopeful shines above_x000D_ I will remain in the dark underground_x000D_ where my light has long since dimmed out._x000D_ And i will wonder if he remembers the match that lit him._x000D_ _x000D_ ////_x000D_ _x000D_ The original string art technique that created this stunning piece involves wrapping several kilometers of a continuous mono-thread around an evenly spaced circle of 280 aluminum pins. The thread cross, re-cross, and crisscross a circular area above the flat wooden board. The image within the circle is achieved by the painstaking and complex choice of connections between the pins. After the first 30 connections that make up the image, the number of possible knitting variants exceeds the number of atoms in the Universe! So it’s simply impossible to reproduce this artwork by guesswork or to untangle it with your mind...
