Tulip Das, The Arch of Heaven (LANDSCAPE & ENVIRONMENT 2025)

Photographed in the Siloli Desert of southwest Bolivia, this image captures the sweeping arc of the Milky Way as it rises over ancient rock formations. The air was still. The silence, complete. In that moment, it felt like the universe was reaching down, tracing the earth with light, memory, and myth.
