From a telescope at home to CERN. One curiosity, two directions.
Follow the curiosity ↓01 / Looking outward
At home, a telescope makes the distant feel a little closer. A faint patch of light becomes something to return to, night after night. The photograph beside it holds another part of that curiosity: the person behind the instrument.
02 / Looking inward · CERN, 2019
At CERN’s Open Days in 2019, the scale changed. Around me were immense instruments built to study the smallest constituents of matter. At the telescope, I look outward. Here, the questions turn inward: what is everything made of?
03 / A moment of stillness
Outside, I stood beside the Nataraja sculpture. A figure in motion, held still inside a ring. Among these photographs, it becomes a quiet pause: another way of imagining change, rhythm and the world around us.
The sculpture was a gift from India to CERN, unveiled in 2004. Its place in this story is symbolic—a reflection alongside the science.

04 / Back to the light
The film returns to the sky. Clouds of light fill the frame, and music gives the journey its rhythm. Between the telescope and the laboratory, the same curiosity remains.
