Standing 30.5 cm tall, the piece depicts a space explorer with a distinctive reflective copper helmet that contrasts brilliantly with the green patina of the spacesuit. Ross has masterfully created texture through the verdigris process, giving the figure an almost archaeological quality, as though it were an artifact discovered from a distant future. The helmet's mirror-like surface creates an interactive element, reflecting the viewer and surroundings, suggesting themes of exploration, discovery, and the human desire to venture into the unknown.
