Celestial Loom

Artwork for Project Aurora's 9th exhibit, with the theme: FREESTYLE

Part of my Megastructure series for this release.

A structure that literally weaves or prints entire celestial bodies into existence via loom-like mechanisms. It is modular by design and its superstructures can interchange in different configurations in order to accommodate the creation of bodies of varying size and mass. It can also be moved to designated locations across vast distances via space folding. These functions however require tremendous amounts of energy, which is fed by vacuum generators, supplying the loom with seemingly limitless power. The loom is a relic of an advanced ancient race of god-like builders long extinct. Some say the loom's creative functions can be reversed and utilized for destructive means, powerful enough to obliterate entire star systems.
