Bay Area–based artist Ala Ebtekar (born 1978) draws out the sculptural and photographic possibilities of the universe. Considering light as both a concept and medium, Ebtekar uses UV light, moonlight and starlight in his practice. His photographic works, exposed over days and nights, continue his durational projects in collaboration with celestial bodies.
