About the work: This piece is an extension of my previous project, demonstrating how life’s origin in the seas has come full circle as humans explore outer space to learn details of our own planet’s beginnings. Throughout this internship, I’ve been fascinated with the larger implications that the Psyche asteroid can have for the formation of our solar system, and particularly the formation of our own planet’s core. As we as a species begin to explore the further reaches of the solar system more and more, it feels fitting that our discoveries will often lead us back to our own origins, studying the formation of the core that was the source of energy for the first life on earth.
