Across the Universe explores the relationship between the expansive cosmos and the individual, balancing abstract and organic elements. At the core of the composition, a vibrant flower emerges, symbolizing life and growth against the structured backdrop of the universe. This organic form contrasts with the surrounding cosmic swirl, inviting reflection on the tension between personal experience and the larger, universal forces.

The artwork draws from The Beatles' lyrics, including "Jai guru deva, om" and "Nothing's gonna change my world." These words evoke a sense of spiritual searching and inner constancy. The mantra, "Jai guru deva, om," reflects a longing for deeper connection, while "Nothing's gonna change my world" emphasizes a steadfast focus on the self, suggesting that, despite the universe’s vastness, the individual remains rooted in their own reality. This highlights the theme of self-centeredness—the idea that personal perspective shapes one’s understanding of the world, even when surrounded by infinite possibilities.

Text from the lyrics flows subtly throughout the piece, adding a quiet undercurrent of reflection. The radiating light from the flower symbolizes consciousness and life energy, casting a subtle glow across the abstract landscape. This light connects the organic and the universal, creating a dialogue between personal perception and the external world.

Through this artwork, I invite viewers to contemplate how one’s inner world remains constant, even within the boundless energies of the universe, and to explore the delicate balance between self-awareness and the greater cosmic forces.
