A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...A Roadmap to Stardust begins with the smallest building block—a speck of stardust—and expands into a wide-ranging narrative of myth and history. OortCloudX reinterprets ancient archetypes and creation myths through the timeless medium of ceramics, revealing a world where craft becomes a bridge between past and present. Antiquarian images of the heavens, reimagined origin stories, and legends of early civilizations converge to form a modern myth steeped in mysticism and scientific inquiry.
Inspired by the earliest known written poem, The Epic of Gilgamesh, which was recorded on clay tablets in ancient Mesopotamia, Forrest and Roloff recast the classic hero's journey in a contemporary context. By seamlessly blending elements of mysticism, modern science, and hints of science fiction, A Roadmap to Stardust invites visitors to contemplate humanity’s eternal longing to explore the heavens, to create, and to transcend..."
