For years, the night sky was observed with careful attention, leading to an unexpected transformation—light from distant stars began to manifest as vivid images in the imagination. NØVA III emerged from this cosmic exploration, where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. The project originated in isolation on Juist Island, sparking the creation of an alternate universe of exoplanets. This process deepened with the release of the first-ever image of a black hole, marking the start of a new phase in cosmic inquiry. Through this work, readers are invited into a realm where interstellar dreams merge with modern consciousness, reshaping humanity’s understanding of space and its infinite possibilities.
the NØVA III project's book initiative launched in August 2024 after being selected in a competition. Since then, the project has remained on hold, waiting for the right moment. Now, I feel the time for this book has finally come. This initiative also led to an invitation by Snap Collective to join the Lunar Codex mission—could serve as a catalyst for public participation and increased visibility in several ways.
