A meditation on the state of our own diminishing environment is transformed here into a contemplation about environments outside of our blue green planet and the potential consequences of reaching them.
The installation uses the contrast between the material used (cold, inanimate and perpetually repeated) and the landscape (live, organic, and unique) which the shaped materials represents.
Each visitor can explore their own unique human footprint on the surface of Mars and simultaneously reflect on the relationship humanity has with its surroundings, both immediate and in the distant future.
