Artwork description:

Hydrogen is the main constituent of stars. On Earth, however, the most common source of this element is water (the word hydrogen in fact derives from the Greek ὕδωρ, hýdor, "water", plus the root γεν-, ghen-, "generate", therefore "water generator" ).
Hydrogen burns in, is highly flammable, but at the same time it is the basis of life, generating water with its combustion.
It is the most abundant element in the observable universe as well as the simplest atom. So widespread, so elusive.
In this series of linocuts, I tried to block it, immortalize it, make it tangible. Tiny but huge.
