June 2024 marked yet another unforgettable milestone in my artistic journey—a moment of pure exhilaration as I was selected to showcase my photography at Solstice Snapshots, a summer exhibition held at Bali’s renowned Superlative Gallery. This extraordinary event brought together creativity, nature, and innovation, and being part of it was nothing short of transformative.

Curated by two visionaries—Frank Liu, a distinguished National Geographic photographer, and Ruanth Chrisley Thyssen, the brilliant sound designer from Muse Hive—the exhibition was a celebration of art that transcends boundaries. Their expertise and passion infused the event with unparalleled inspiration, creating an atmosphere that elevated every piece on display.

My featured photograph, The View Above, is a testament to the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. Captured from the forest floor, it draws the viewer’s gaze upward, through towering trees that frame the infinite expanse of the night sky. The Milky Way glimmers above like a celestial masterpiece, reminding us of the profound connection between Earth and the cosmos. The interplay of light filtering through the trees and the vibrant stars creates a sense of wonder and serenity—a moment frozen in time where nature’s grandeur takes center stage.

Being part of Solstice Snapshots was not just an honor; it was an experience that deepened my passion for storytelling through photography. Sharing The View Above in such a prestigious setting reaffirmed my belief in art’s ability to inspire and connect us to something greater than ourselves. This journey continues to fuel my creative drive, and I am endlessly grateful for opportunities like these to share my vision with the world.
