Events as still-life paintings
I enjoy translating events into artistic structures. Solar eclipses look like bites taken out of the Sun. I imagined sequences of drawings - slices of Time - stacked into chronotactic (Time-arrangement) columns. Time here flows downwards.

Cocoon Nebula Deep field:

Due to increasing light pollution in Europe, it is almost impossible to image dim nebulas from normal sky.
So I decided imaging cocoon only from mountains, high altitude and dark sky. It took 3 years to finish the image and 5000 km drive to the sites to capture the 42.5 hours of imaging time.
