Courtney Simmons, Divine Encounters: Mother Nature (PLACES 2026)

Taken at a local jetty in St Kilda, Melbourne. My altar in the modern world. A precipice between two worlds. The human world at my back as I stare into the infinite universe. Waves splash against the jetty. I watch the water as it gathers power, building into a spectacular crash. In the fleeting spray, Mother Nature reveals herself.
