The Star Catcher

Do the stars gaze back? Now, that’s a question.

“A philosopher once asked, are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human? Pointless, really… Do the stars gaze back? Now, that’s a question.” - Neil Gaiman

Lately, I’ve been thinking about stars. How they’re symbols of hope and dreams. Under the folded darkness of the night, we gaze up at them and cast our wishes into the sky.

Maybe that’s what stars are (underneath all the science and physics and burning light of them all). Maybe they’re what wishes become, when we whisper them into the dark and dare to dream that they may come true.

I’ve never been able to decide on a name for this character. I’ve been torn between Asteria and Yvaine from Stardust. What do you think it should be?

In the next couple weeks, I’ll be sharing the story behind these images and how I created them. Sign up here if you’d like to read more about it ♡
