Theme: So small between the stars, so large against the sky
Becoming aware of the greatness of nature is also to reflect, sometimes with irony, on the perceived grandeur of our society. Amid and against the vast landscapes we take for granted, we often forget that we are merely a small part of the natural world, not the other way around.
Closing our eyes to the sky, the stars, the mountains, or the oceans is to deny ourselves a rich realm of mutual learning and unexplored beauty.
