For this series, I combined photos I took of the desert in Joshua Tree and Arizona with images from the Hubble Space Telescope. While both landscape and spacescape create a sense of expansiveness and possibility, the contrast in scale reminds us of our relative smallness in the bigger picture.    

The utopian aesthetic is reminiscent of early sci-fi, like the original Star-Trek I grew up watching, where California deserts were stand-ins for other worlds. 

By offering this series exclusively on the blockchain, I am drawing a connection between those utopian ideals and the post-scarcity economic potential of cryptocurrency.
