“Cosmic Collisions” is inspired by the numerous experiments on sub-atomic particles, done by CERN, inside the Large Hadron Collider.

With these experiments, the scientists operating the machine aim to know more about the fundamental building blocks of our Universe, in terms of particle physics.

One such experiment conducted in the AD (Antiproton Decelerator) led to the knowledge of the behavioural patterns of anti-protons. Many such experiments are ongoing, as the scientists of today’s world claim to know about the existence of anti-matter, yet affirm that they are unable to study all its properties.

This artwork is a tribute to the good intent of all the hard working humans, who have been working on the LHC for decades, in order to be able to enlighten humanity about the 27% of our physical universe that still remains largely a mystery.

“Cosmic Collisions” is full of intricate details, and I will not share the spoilers here. I would rather encourage you, the viewer, to take a closer look and count a few things inside the “rings”. Certain numbers and percentages of objects inside the painting, might fuel your curiosity to dig deeper into the working principles and motivation that guides CERN to continue with their perusal of anti-matter.

Also, if you wish to, do let me know how you experienced “Cosmic Collisions”, once you have dug deeper. I’d love to hear your views on the artwork, or the inspiration behind it.
