My Celestial series is inspired from celestial images beamed back to Earth by the Hubble Telescope. The central thesis behind this series is to convey the idea that what exists in the outer realms of space can also be found here on Earth, i.e., what’s celestial is also terrestrial. My hope is that in this new era of billionaire space travel, as much attention now will be focused on the needs of this planet, not just imagining a new era of space travel.
