Statement :
Pale Blue Dot explores an idealistic world in which humanity comes together and agrees to set aside personal differences to share Earth’s precious resources. A world where we forget our imagined self-importance and instead, remember our brevity of human life. A world that invites every human being who ever was, from the bookends of humanity and everyone in between, to preserve and enjoy the resources needed by all.
Drawing from the metaphor of a universal watering hole, the elemental gathering point for life immemorial, the one place where an instinctive truce is drawn in the name of the greater good and survival. Each figure inches closer to the watering hole, drawn by the shared human need for connection and safety.
The title references the famous photo taken of Earth by Voyager 1 in 1990 as it left our solar system and the romantic and somber reflections that followed from the photograph's significance.
“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone
you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.”— Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994
‘Pale Blue Dot’ is a reminder of our shared responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.
