Earth-Moon connection
The first of the two winning entries was submitted by Tessa Kugel, a Master’s student at Beaux Arts de Paris, France, and it depicts a digital drawing of the Moon with a stream of light connecting it to Earth. The frame was inspired by German artist Hildegarde de Bingen’s “Scivias, Codex illuminatus,” a drawing from 1180 that shows the cosmos inside an egg, according to Kugel.
“I wanted the piece to be simple and evoke a little bit the space exploration posters and graphics of the past century while using visual elements that are both older and more recent,” Kugel said.
