“Creating astronomy magazine collages has become a personal journey for me, blending science with art in a way that brings the universe closer. As I cut out and layer images of galaxies, nebulae, and distant stars, I feel a deep connection to the cosmos. The process transforms these distant, unreachable places into something tangible, something I can shape with my hands. Each collage tells a story of wonder, awe, and curiosity, capturing both the vastness of space and my own reflections on our place within it. These collages allow me to explore the beauty and mystery of the universe in a more personal way, turning the cold data of astronomy into something that evokes warmth, introspection, and connection. Through this artwork, I invite others to share in this journey. To see the universe not just as distant objects, but as part of something we all can connect to.”
