In the rural area where my family lives there is very little light pollution from neighboring towns. Regularly on evening walks I would stop, pause, and stare at how vivid I could see all of the stars surrounding us. Many times I found myself in awe of each twinkling light and how Earth is just nestled between billions of stars. While living in a city I do not regularly get to experience that sensation as often anymore. Here I created a room which synthesizes the feeling of being lost between the stars; to help remind me of the wonder that is floating around in our immense Galaxy.
