Artist's Statement: Under the deep sea where it is a dark world full of mysteries, there are weird creatures we have not seen. When we think of the deep dark parts of the ocean, the creatures that come to mind usually look unattractive, bizarre, or very unsettling. However deep down in the twilight zone, it is like various colours of fireworks. You can find life with vibrant pinks and blues like a whole new dimension with its own beauty and mysteries. Some even carry light and grace upon seeing them. When a light is lit in the twilight zone, we can see the many charmers who have been hiding in the dark. The deep sea is not all about the big, scary, ugly, or distorted looking creatures, it is about a magical world full of beauty and mesmerizing sights to behold.

Artist's Statement: When we are asked to think of a starfish, an image of a five-armed thick and spiky figure forms in our mind. But did you know that this starfish can have dozens of arms? This mysterious and almost alien-like starfish is called the basket star, that unveils a hidden world beyond our perception. What sets the basket star part is its distinctive appearance and remarkable behavior. Unlike traditional starfish, with five arms, the basket star has a mesmerizing array of long, slender, and highly flexible arms that radiate outwards from a central disc. These arms can extend to impressive lengths spanning up to half a meter and are adorned with intricate branching patterns resembling a delicate basket weave. In addition, the basket star is also known for its ability to thrive in extreme deep environments, often found at depths of several hundred to several thousand meters below the ocean surface.
