I want to be somewhere else. Among bright stars.I want to seek answers and look over new horizons.

I like your design because the artificial gravity section looks compact. The common assumption is that they need to be very large and most look fragile and impractical. Yours looks very functional and sturdy. Important features of something that needs to be used for a few years at least.

can you run me through the parts of ship (sections)
from the top to bottom?

let's start with the forward section(which in the image is currently slowing the vessel) it, like the rear section is a massive Engine block essentially. The only difference between the forward and the rear Engine blocks is the forward lacks a Sub-L VASMR Drive. (which can only achieve about 65% of the speed of light and that takes years) now, the narrow "rods" which run the length of the vessel are actually access tubes to allow for the crew(typically 7-10 members) to traverse the ship and get to the 2 separate "engineering decks"
Now onto the central collection of modules.
Rear of the ring is mainly storage and labs for long term experiments (affects of deepspace travel, zero-g genetic research etc..)
Now, if you look closely(which in another image of the vessel you can get a better look. right behing the ring is the Shuttle module, which currently has 2 decent shuttles which double as life pods.
The Ring, a fully self-sustained living Hab, it has everything needed for long duration space flight.
Last but not least, the 3 forward Modules, these would be the Command modules, and communications module.
