Titled “Mars,” this sculpture imagines the red planet not through astronomy, but emotion—what it evokes in us: isolation, mystery, potential. The work’s organic forms and central void symbolize both erosion and rebirth, much like the imagined geology of Mars. Despite its celestial title, the piece is deeply human. It’s hand-built in ceramic and finished in a metallic bronze glaze, giving the illusion of weathered metal, yet it remains earthly. Viewers may see petals, bone, or even machinery, depending on their lens—just as we project our own mythologies onto planets. The piece invites reflection on how we see the unfamiliar through the familiar.
