On a quiet coastal night, I set out to photograph the Milky Way—only to witness a rare bloom of bioluminescent plankton. Their glow scattered across the waves like stardust fallen from the sky, echoing the celestial light above. This image captures that fleeting moment where the sea and stars mirrored each other, with a solitary figure standing at the threshold of both worlds
