This print depicts a night sky that was intentionally blurred to remove all visible elements—such as stars, satellites, and airplanes—leaving only a gradient of colors. A pattern of star trails was then digitally created and reproduced using a cutter printer. The design was applied onto vinyl, which was affixed to glass. The vinyl was then weeded, the glass sandblasted, and finally weeded once more to complete the process.
