When the Sea Holds the Stars reveals the otherworldly spectacle of the “Blue Tears,” a natural phenomenon where bioluminescent plankton illuminate the ocean’s surface, resembling constellations adrift upon the waves. In this work, the sea becomes more than a landscape—it transforms into a cosmic vessel, holding both the vastness of the universe and the fragility of human existence. By dissolving the boundaries between sea and sky, the image creates a poetic dialogue that intertwines nature, spirituality, and the timeless rhythm of life itself.
