Miles takes his experience and reinterprets it in his own way. One of two Comets, Comet 1 portrays the orange stars in the sky extending to bottom right, capturing the falling movement of comets in the dark night sky.
With his experience of night sky, Miles expressed the stars' shining and twinkling effect in his eyes into blurred dots.
He believes that his paintings can connect with the sensory perception of the viewer, creating mutual expriences that he had seen vividly with the viewers.
