Nothing, Something, Everything

 

This video was created from 1,661 photographs taken from the ISS while CRS-20, carrying Sojourner 2020, was berthed to the station. It was one of the rare moments I was able to see Paris from space. And I cried.

Project III: Longing and Belonging

 

Despite the microgravity environment in Low Earth Orbit, a magnet remains drawn to Earth’s strong magnetic field. A cylindrical magnet that orients itself toward Earth’s magnetic North and South—even in the absence of gravity and regardless of its location—becomes a metaphor for our longing and sense of belonging. And if one end is always pointing toward Earth, the other inevitably points away, reminding us that every connection also carries a counterpart: distance, departure, or the unknown.
