In my early 30s, my first big art & science exhibition, after weeks of sleepless nights and tireless dedication behind the walls, a beautiful evening in Pilar, Brussels marked a momentous occasion—the opening celebration of the exhibition "Manned Flight - Rotifers in Action". This was my first opportunity to showcase my hand-drawn sketches depicting the microcosmos DNA process through the lens of my subjective imagination, serving as an initial concept for the Space Art Project: Engines of Eternity by SEADS Network collaboration with UNAmur, ESA, NASA, and SpaceX.

The evening was a blend of relief and joy as I reveled in the beauty of the artworks on display and engaged in stimulating conversations with inspiring fellow artists and attendees. This remarkable night was made possible by the unwavering support of the SEADS team, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Prof. Karine Van Doninck and curator Ive Stevenheydens for their invaluable contributions. Their encouragement and guidance were instrumental in bringing this exhibition to life, making it a truly unforgettable experience.
