Fossils and the night sky—two seemingly distant worlds, yet deeply connected. Each fossil is a time capsule, a window into an ancient Earth, just as the stars are glimpses into a distant past. My fascination with these cosmic and earthly timelines has led to an incredible opportunity: Landing Among the Stars exhibition at The Etches Collection Museum, running this July only!

Visitors will not only encounter The Sea Monster—a stunning reminder of prehistoric oceans—but also explore the wonders of the night sky. Through this exhibition, I hope to bridge the depths of the sea with the vastness of space, reminding us that time leaves its marks in stone and light alike.
