A mother bear and her cubs sleep soundly on an outcrop, sheltered only by a starry expanse of dark blue sky. An aura of mystery surrounds the family as they lie, their wild, instinct-driven minds unknown, their beauty stunning before a vast grove of stars.

The surreal scene is titled “Dreaming Above the Universe,” the piece was the winning entry in the Creative Photo Awards 2025 in the annual Siena Awards.
