Celestial

This body of works invites you to look up at the stars.

Looking up and catching a glimpse into the universe is something that was taken for granted for centuries and is now a rare sight for many humans and other living species. One of the experiences that I most miss in the city is to be able to marvel at a night sky full of stars and the sense of infinity that it brings.

To pay a tribute to the night sky, I created this series by recreating a map of the different constellations at different times and locations on earth with the help of an interactive sky chart. This process allows me to learn about the different constellations that are now invisible to me in the hope to get familiar with this ancestral knowledge and visual reference. 

Maybe, one day, I will be in a remote area, look up and no longer see something amazing yet strange and foreign but I will be able to recognize some of the constellations that inspired scientific curiosity and so many stories in the past.
