<![CDATA[This article discusses the role of photography as a medium for proclaiming the values of love in the Catholic faith through an exhibition entitled Stella Matutina: Love One Another, organized by the Diocese of Bandung. This exhibition presents the works of 33 photographers who reflect the message of Christian love inspired by the Gospel of John 15:12 in the form of simple and touching visual narratives. This research uses a qualitative narrative approach with a study of theological aesthetics and visual communication theories, as well as an analysis of the creative process, photography techniques, and the spiritual impact of the works exhibited. The results of the study show that the photography in this exhibition successfully proclaims Catholic values in a contextual and communicative manner. Through a human interest approach and reflective visual compositions such as the use of eye-level perspectives, monochromatic colors, and natural lighting, the message of love is presented in everyday life and can be accepted across religions and cultures. Art becomes a means of preaching that does not only convey dogma, but also brings to life the experience of faith and opens up a space for inclusive spiritual encounters. This exhibition emphasizes that art, when combined with religious values, can build a civilization of love and become a reflective vehicle in a multicultural society.
