About the Artwork:

“This piece was inspired by a mountain I climbed a few weeks ago near by an impact crater made by an asteroid 342 ± 15 million years ago in Charlevoix, Quebec. The piece brings together many of my favorite subjects such as the passing of time, the celebration of life, the transformation of matter and cosmology. Women represent the enigmatic beauty of Nature and the mystery of life on Earth.” – Alexandra Levasseur
