Not knowing is most intimate

The front of Sienna’s face is drawn with questions about the universe, while the galaxies behind her are equations addressing those questions. Sienna created this self portrait before going to university, while wrestling with the challenges of studying science independently. This piece reminds her that the humility of learning is equal in value to the satisfaction of knowing.

"The front of my face is drawn with a collection of questions that lead me to study (Are we alone in the Universe? What is the shape of the Universe? Is it infinite? Finite? How did consciousness emerge?...) It is followed by equations for firing neurons. Everything behind me is a collection of scientific data I'd like to better understand, including the Einstein Field Equations, Schwartzchild radius, The Jeans Instability Equation, Hubble's Constant and more. 

You see me enthralled with the Andromeda galaxy, in awe of its beauty and data, while behind me, I have yet to even see the rest of the Universe. This is where I am now in my research; the very beginning."
