"Solar Viewing Plate" by C. Marie Mackie

Photographer Marie Mackie wished to visualize in this piece what would happen if a solar viewing plate was not "kept in the stowed position". As a result, the theme of this work is centered on time travel and entering other dimensions. Mackie's other art also includes more solar-inspired images as well as aerial photos (below).
