In the stillness of a Mongolian winter night, time leaves its mark in the sky. Captured through long exposure, the stars swirl in perfect harmony above a remote forest camp, while a burning log fire paints a trail of orange light on the snow-covered earth. The circular star trails converge around Polaris, creating a visual metaphor for cosmic balance and the quiet rhythm of nature. This image invites viewers to reflect on our place beneath the stars — fragile, fleeting, yet connected to the infinite.
