Photo of Sydney Harbour at sunset with the Opera House to the left and the Harbour Bridge to the light. A light leak occupies the left side of the image.

I live on Gadigal Country (Sydney) and work as a front-end engineer at Canva by day.

Photo of an escalator in a dark, empty building. Only the escalator is lit from sunlight above.
