The Sun is not silent. The low, pulsing hum of our star’s heartbeat allows scientists to peer inside, revealing huge rivers of solar material flowing around before their eyes — er, ears.

Data from ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), sonified by the Stanford Experimental Physics Lab, captures the Sun’s natural vibrations and reveals what can’t be seen with the naked eye.

Urban  Artist Cinta Vidal creates surreal architecture paintings of inverted buildings. Beyond the aesthetic qualities, however, her inverted architecture is meant to symbolize human nature and what it means to live among other people.

Finally finished this FMA embroidery commission for kelly! 

It took me a while to complete but the learning experience was marvelous and I am so so pleased with the end result. Plus, isn’t it wonderful to turn your favorite idiots into skaters and then surround them in flowers? Cause I can do that for you if you want  👀

✨🌈Commissions are OPEN! 🌈✨
