This project was a delight as it was so aligned with my work. The prompts were the first concrete evidence of how tuned in this The Observatory : Second Site was to what I was already doing: imaging the cosmos and celestial bodies of our solar system. My process of imaging wasn’t just limited to the technical aspect of it, I was able to share my own perspective, emotions and memories when I capture these timeless beings. This brought out my eternal love for the planets, how I see them and my own interpretation.
