PRIMAL PEACE — Cal, the Artist

Vector Hyperrealism — 25,636 vector shapes drawn by hand in Adobe Illustrator. Location: 36.603876° N, 118.730248° W (Sequoia National Park, California), featuring an astronomically accurate night sky with every star mapped to its true position above this location on Halloween night, October 31, 2025. An ancient fire glowing through the mythical night of October 31 – as it has for centuries across cultures around the world – celebrating the living and honoring the dead. Titled PRIMAL PEACE, the work reflects on the most elemental human experience: sitting by a campfire in the heart of the forest, watching flames rise above embers and fade into a star-studded sky. Safety and warmth. A universal moment that connects us to our ancestors who shared food and stories around the light. Just enough to forget for a while about the eyes watching us from the shadows behind, waiting for the fire to surrender to the darkness, bring back the cold, and turn that primal peace into primal fear.
