In order to portray a combining 5th traditional elemental 'concept' realisation of Aether/Void - I considered the basic composition of colour, as we understand it (black and white specifically), based on refraction implications in relation to mass and logical value principles.

O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend
The brightest heaven of invention,
A kingdom for a stage, princes to act
And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!
William Shakespeare Act 1, Prologue of Henry V
O Muses, O high genius, aid me now!
O memory that engraved the things I saw,
Here shall your worth be manifest to all!
Dante Alighieri in Canto II of The Inferno
(Anthony Esolen translation, 2002)
