Relativity

"An illustration for a story explaining Einstein's theory of relativity. Part of the explanation of relativity of motion and the effects of gravity involved the example of two objects falling together, which are motionless relative to each other. I chose to portray it with a tongue-in-cheek allusion to Newton's apple, as if Einstein had discovered his own gravitational theory in the same way. But in Einstein's case, he would need to be falling with the apple.
    "Einstein was a natural for this concept. I barely had to make any adjustment to my reference photos to get the hair right."
