Inspired by the famous and mysterious woodcut known as the "Flammarion engraving" by an unknown artist and date, which first appeared in the book, L'atmosphère: météorologie populaire in 1888.

The image has had several interpretations and rereadings, and is emblematic for showing a person looking through the celestial vault, acting as an illustration for metaphysical and supradimensional concepts.

The term ékstasis comes from the Greek, and means, to rise, to go out of oneself, to be carried away or a mystical or religious trance.
