Curatorial Commentary
The card depicts Staryu, a star-shaped Pokémon, resting just above the water's surface. Its crystalline body glimmers softly in the sunlight, reflecting the serene environment around it. The calm water and distant shoreline create a tranquil atmosphere, highlighting Staryu's connection to its aquatic habitat. In this moment, it feels as though time stands still, allowing Staryu to embody the peace of its surroundings.
