A Window Into Another World
Exploring the intersection of nostalgia, possibility, and the infinite unknown
This piece began as a meditation on American wanderlust and the Space Age dreams of the 1960s. I wanted to capture that moment where optimism met infinity—when we believed chrome-finned cars and rocket ships were part of the same continuum of progress. The astronaut's posture is deliberately casual, as if stopping to check the map or admire the view. The Cadillac, meticulously sourced from a 1959 advertisement, represents everything we thought the future would be: sleek, powerful, confident. Together on the lunar surface, they create a scene that feels both impossible and somehow inevitable. Earth hangs in the background not as a destination, but as a memory. We are meant to be looking forward, toward the stars, toward whatever highway stretches beyond the crater's edge.
I wanted to capture that feeling of possibility—the idea that the open road extends everywhere, even to the moon.
