About the work:
“Agape” was directly inspired by the Psyche spacecraft’s projected 2029 arrival at 16 psyche and the illustrations of Alphonse Mucha. Both the spacecraft and the asteroid have been alone in space for a long, long time – Psyche will be the first celestial object that the spacecraft will encounter since its 2023 launch from Earth. I envisioned their first encounter as an intense one, full of happiness and relief. After being alone for so long, these two wayward entities have finally found one another, and Psyche cries in relief – neither spacecraft nor asteroid will be alone ever again.
