[A star is born]

Mural painting and decoration, American--Michigan--Detroit--21st century.
Space flight in art.
Women astronauts.

A long rectangular shaped mural, showing a green, female presenting astronaut character with mouth agape wearing a spacesuit. A shining light is held in the character’s left hand which points out and shines into a space universe. The light shows a green, pink/purple, yellow/gold, and red object/organism with jagged edges. In the background, a space universe can be seen, with shooting stars, a quasar and constellations of stars throughout. The artist’s signature is seen in the bottom left corner, while the artist’s website is spelled out in manuscript in the bottom right corner. Next to the mural on a white brick paneled wall, a quotation from the artist reads: “A STAR IS BORN THROUGH IMMENSE PRESSURE AND WE HAVE HAD OUR FAIR SHARE. THAT BEACON OF LIGHT YOU SEE IN THE DARK IS OUR FAIR CITY RISING FROM THE NIGHT SKY.”
