Based on a vintage illustration of a baby in utero, Sterk uses surrealist elements to visualize the psychological shift of pregnancy. The composition places a recognizable figure within a cosmic setting, using a vibrant color palette to suggest that the womb is not just a biological space, but a site of universal origin. By framing this intimate moment through the lens of astronomy, the artist highlights the profound scale of new life, making the internal experience feel as vast as a galaxy.

The work leans into the ambiguous paradox of scale—how a life so small can feel as significant as the entire cosmos. Sterk employs three-dimensional illusion and dreamlike imagery to turn a medical reference into a deeply personal, metaphorical journey. It is a quiet, introspective look at the cycle of renewal, capturing the ephemeral beauty of life at its very beginning.
