EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking panoramic print captures the enchanting beauty of Easter Island's iconic moai statues against the backdrop of the mesmerizing Milky Way. Standing tall and silhouetted against the night sky, these megalithic figures, carved from volcanic rock centuries ago, evoke a sense of awe and wonder. Ahu Nao-Nao, one of two ahu on Anakena beach, serves as the stage for this celestial spectacle. The arch of the Milky Way stretches across the horizon, its dust lanes and band of stars creating an ethereal atmosphere that blends seamlessly with Rapa Nui's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported to a realm where archaeology meets astronomy. The moai stand as silent witnesses to ancient civilizations and ancestral worship practices while above them lies a vast universe filled with countless mysteries waiting to be unraveled.

This print serves as a reminder that there is so much more beyond what meets the eye – both
