Two blueberries float against an open blue sky, their surfaces unfolding like distant galaxies. Deep indigos and violets swirl across each form, punctuated by subtle points of light, as if stars are embedded just beneath the skin. The berries’ natural openings echo cosmic voids, suggesting the slow choreography of celestial bodies.
 
Galaxies II collapses distance—two small universes held in quiet relation. It suggests that the structures of the profound are mirrored in the most ordinary things, and that wonder does not require looking outward, only closer.
