Genre/Medium: Embroidery on organza fabric

About the work: “Trail of Psyche” shows the magnetic field of the asteroid through embroidery on organza fabric. The trail behind Psyche represents its path and the solar wind hitting the surface of the asteroid. The stitching is meant to look more abstract since we don’t know exactly what Psyche looks like.
