Piece description from the artist
In 2016, I visited one of the most famous architectural marvels, The Therme Vals, located in Vals, Switzerland. Situated in the heart of this rural town, there was minimal light pollution, allowing for breathtaking views of stars and galaxies stretching across the horizon. It was my first experience truly immersing myself in the universe by gazing up at the sky.
