This painting shows a reimagined Sagittarius—not as the usual male centaur, but as a free-spirited girl. She stands strong under a glowing full moon, bow drawn, with the Sagittarius constellation glowing around her.
In mythology and star maps, Sagittarius is known as the archer. Traditionally, the arrow is aimed at the heart of Scorpius,. the neighbouring constellation.
In real space, Sagittarius also points toward the center of the Milky Way galaxy. That’s where a huge black hole, called Sagittarius A*, lies—so in a way, she’s aiming toward the heart of the galaxy itself.
When the lights go out, this painting glows, revealing stars and moonlight.
