The universe is full of celestial havens - stars, planets, gases & material collaborate in a dance of colour as light & life is created - but what if there where such a place capable of producing all in the universe & more? In essence, an origin - perhaps the universe formed in a much different way, while it may have been triggered by a super massive singularity caving in on itself, the result may have been a single, shining star, unlike the form of any other; the Celestial origin.

My submission to the Exotika II contest, I'm really happy with the result of the picture, I tried to bring an interesting perspective to the piece with the nebulae - as well as bringing in the focal point as a unique star, the idea is that the star is surrounded by a shell of materials, the strong gravity of the star causes these materials to almost solidify into matter - yet instead they are in a fragile balance of pure energy, with constant matter exhuming from its peculiar circumstances. The concept is that there is only one star like this in the universe. (Note: Fictional concept devised by myself, not real )

All feedback appreciated.
