With every shot, he captures the silent poetry of the night, where the vast expanse of salt and water plays a perfect host to the starlit sky above. This series stands as a testament to the sublime beauty that occurs when our world and the universe beyond it find harmony. Through his lens, Kordan invites us to experience this symphony of light and landscape, prompting a deeper appreciation for the natural wonders that surround us.
