This is a drawing of an explosion of light in the sky. The drawing depicts a group of people looking upwards. The composition uses a contrast between light and shadow, emphasizing the radiance in the night sky. The glow illuminates the edges of the viewer's faces. The lines radiate outwards from the focal point in the sky.
