Stardust Regeneration Center
“You are a miracle of cosmic proportions”. This is a quote from Michelle Thaller, one of many astrophysicists that want humankind to understand that our story started in the stars. Quite literally, we are made of star remnants: stars have nuclear reactions, they explode and create all of the atoms in our bodies right now. Due to this, humans and their galaxy have about 97% of the same atoms.
The human body is in a constant state of decay and regeneration, just like the life cycle of a star. All of this inspired me to create a concept for the “Stardust Regeneration Center”.
This center (comparable to an innovative spa) will honor how the human body is connected to the life cycles of the stars and galaxies they helped create. It will help guests ‘regenerate’ in three major categories of human development: growing, thinking and moving. Guests can attend this center to feel better, in whichever of those three areas they feel they need to enhance that day. Stardust rebuilds planets and stars in the Universe and it is my hope that under the stars, a place like the “Stardust Regeneration Center” will do as much to your body, mind and spirit.
