Morning Glory
As the earth spins around its axis, it also revolves around the sun, a double rotation responsible for the rolling of the seasons and the alternation of night and day — transitional phases that have influenced life on our planet since the dawn of time.

It bubbles with life as night creatures and day creatures cross paths between shifts, sharing a crucial, glorious moment in the heart of their ecological niches.
