In the distant Small Magellanic Cloud, the young star cluster NGC 602 mirrors the early Universe—where only the simplest elements existed, and new stars continue to form. Like the stars, we are always evolving—shaped by time, experience, and unseen forces.

The stars remind us: we are never complete, always unfolding. Pause. Embrace your becoming.

The Magellanic Clouds (both the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds) have been included in the lore of native inhabitants in the Southern Hemisphere, such as South Sea islanders and indigenous Australians. European sailors, including those during Ferdinand Magellan's circumnavigation, used the Magellanic Clouds for navigation, calling them the "Cape Clouds”.

The James Webb Space Telescope has observed NGC 602, revealing new insights into its structure and star formation. This image captures life constantly forming, expanding, and recycling—just like art, which allows us to witness creation, beauty, and transformation in both darkness and light. Each painting in this collection is one of a kind, with techniques and details known only to the artist. The style is a unique fusion of contemporary, abstract, realism, and surrealism—capturing the essence of the cosmos through the artist.
