[PLA] Celebrating a New Cycle

Assignment

The holocalendar flips again to reveal the beginning of a new cycle. Different systems and cultures celebrate this occasion in myriad ways, but almost all of those include ornamental explosions of some kind. What kind of fireworks do you set off? What kind of celebration is occurring around you when the holoball drops? Create an original piece of art in any medium -- physical or digital -- that shows the scene.
