Barnard´s Star Barnard's Star, a red dwarf located about 5.98 light years from Earth, has been an important discovery in astronomy since E.E. Barnard named it in 1916, during World War I. But its significance goes beyond just being an astronomical find. There’s something deeply moving about the rediscovery of Barnard’s Star that resonates with the human experience.

It serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the horrors of war, while also highlighting the vastness of the universe and how small we are in comparison. It makes us reflect on the tough realities of existence, yet fills us with awe at the infinite cosmos. This project from 2016 revisits themes I first explored six years earlier in my "Faces" project, which focused on facial disfigurement and identity, using the same source material.
