Nelson’s work draws heavily from the Psychedelic Art Movement, utilizing a dynamic harmony composition to explore the passage of time and the human quest for meaning. By grounding the familiar prism imagery in nature-themed illustration artwork, he bridges the gap between the mechanical and the organic, suggesting a deep connection between the diversity of life on Earth and the cold reaches of space.

The piece functions as a psychological exploration, inviting the viewer to contemplate the exploration of the unknown. Through the interplay of light and shadow, Nelson captures the tension between divine purity and the heavy realities of war's toll, creating a visual dialogue that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.
