Effigy
The Phantom Galaxy
Artist: Infinity Gathers
This year’s effigy was born from inspiration found in the new James Webb Space Telescope’s image of Messier 74 (M74), also known as the Phantom Galaxy. The Phantom Galaxy is host to over a 100 billion stars and located 32 million light years away in the Pisces Constellation.
This “Grand Design Spiral Galaxy” is often studied for its spiral arm structure and spiral density waves. It is estimated that 10% of all galaxies are this shape including Bode’s Galaxy (M81), the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101), and the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51a). Bode’s Galaxy is so bright that you can see it with the naked eye.
Spirals exist everywhere in the universe and endlessly inspire us. They have a special strength and movement. The Earth moves through space in a spiral in a spiral galaxy. The blueprints for life are densely bound in spirals. They are also found in Art dating back 12,000 years in Ukraine and worldwide ever since. We have been drawn into them by unexplainable gravity that will never let us go.
Temple
Beacon Temple
Artist: the Builder
Designed to help bring visitors home, from all planes, Beacon Temple’s tall center tower serves as the guiding rod for their journeys. Its structure was designed with three main styles; the shape of a mountain to offer visitors strength and support, two outer sets of wings shielding guests from harm while providing a safe space, and an inner sanctum for gathering, reflection, and healing.
I dedicate this build to the friend who introduced me to “burning”, we last crossed paths at Constellation 2019. I hope this beacon guides you home again, Chris.
