ARTIST STATEMENT

Under the celestial ballet of the most vivid aurora storm in 22 years, I stood at the precipice of natural wonder, the Twelve Apostles. It was a night where the skies seemed to unravel their mysteries, painting the sky in strokes of green, purple, and pink, a spectacle that called to the hearts of those who chase the light.

I found myself veering from the crowd. While everyone else was captivated by the aurora alone, their cameras aimed skyward. I set up and aimed towards the apostles, curious why few were capturing this rare interaction between earth and sky.

Taking a test shot, I realised that while the aurora might not blaze as brightly when juxtaposed with the apostles, their interaction was a story unto itself—an icon lit not by manmade lights but by the wild, untamed splendour of the universe itself. This realisation was an epiphany, a secret whispered by the landscape that many seemed to overlook in their quest for the most luminous shot.

Curious onlookers meandered by, stealing glances at my screen, puzzled by the choice of subject. Some offered advice, underestimating the vision. Yet, within this solitude, surrounded by the sounds of the ocean, the penguin colony below and the serene gaze of the apostles, there was a profound peace, a connection to something greater.

The decision to stand here, at this exact spot, had been a deliberate one. When finally captured, this photograph was not merely an image but a memory. It spoke of the beauty in the unconventional, the magic found at the confluence of earth and sky, and the quiet defiance of choosing a path less tread. It was a celebration of the Twelve Apostles, not in isolation but as part of a grander, more vibrant tapestry woven by the aurora's fleeting grace.
