In Greek mythology, Virgo is often connected to Astraea, the goddess of justice. She was said to be the last of the gods to remain among humanity. But as mankind became consumed by violence, greed, and corruption, Astraea eventually left the Earth and ascended into the heavens becoming the constellation Virgo. I imagined the place she left behind as a final sanctuary: a garden of civilization floating above the world, untouched by the chaos below.
