The artist imagines Frank's perspective if he were lying on his back, looking up at the stars in a country field, with wildflowers poking up in his field of view. The sliver-blue stars are fractal shaped derived from numerals in Frank's birth date (May 21, 1925) and the Stonewall Uprising (July 28, 1969).
