About the work: This hoop depicts principal investigator Dr. Lindy Elkins-Tanton on a watercolor interpretation of the Psyche asteroid. I wanted to make this piece as a tribute to Dr. Lindy, and a thanks for bringing humanity to the mission. Her image is centered on the black and purple background to both represent the heart of the Psyche mission, and the potential we have as creators and scientists.

About the work: At the center of multicolored rays is a silhouette of the Psyche asteroid, which is outlined in black beading. This represents the unknowns of Psyche and its potential, the wonder and hope surrounding the mission, and all the questions we hope to have answered by further research and exploration.
