This nocturnal portrait transforms the Singapore Strait into a terrestrial galaxy. From a 100% nadir satellite perspective, hundreds of ships anchored in the deep obsidian ocean reveal themselves through their glowing artificial lights, mimicking the distribution of a distant spiral galaxy or a dense stellar cluster.

What serves as a vital artery of global trade is reimagined as an abstract cosmic tapestry woven into our planet's skin. Developed through the lens of "Quiet Realism," this work mirrors human infrastructure as stellar patterns, capturing the silent, luminous energy of the maritime world at an extraordinary 30cm-class resolution.

Like a vast, glowing constellation reflected on the sea, this piece invites us to see the weightless, "Antigravity" beauty within the complex machinery of our global connectivity.
