For my A2 art exam the title was exploration and discovery and I considered painting up the image below, but decided not to. The image is a combination of a photograph of earth and a quote from the astronomer Carl Sagan. The picture itself is special as it is the furthest photo of earth ever taken, taken by the last action of the Voyager 1 space probe as it left our solar system looking back towards the sun (the coloured lines are lens flare from the sun. The picture is named the Small Blue Dot, which is a quote from Sagan, the same text where the quote I have used is from. So yeah, perspective.
