M42 is a series about the origin of our universe, but also of Life. Above our heads are evolving planets, constellations and stars that shape our universe. Despite its obvious beauty, it all remains a huge mystery for our civilization, even if we commonly say that we are all born from “stardust”. Since the dawn of time, human kind has always been wondering if there would be another form of life, somewhere up there.
I decided to took inspiration from the constellation of Orion and its nebula "M42", to imagine what might look like an entity who would live in that environment. This creature, although very similar to us on several points, generates as much fascination than fear. In the same way that we react against the cosmos and all the related unknown. Sometimes amazing us, sometimes frightening us, particularly when we look up and we try to imagine the magnitude of the immensity above us. When we realize that we are only one grain of sand in this unfathomable universe.
