A colored pencil drawing shows a red vintage car driving along a curved road towards a distant modern city at night. On the left, traditional Chinese-inspired pagoda buildings sit among greenery. A streetlamp stands in the lower right corner. In the upper sky, a large glowing orange-red Mars is in the center, while the Psyche spacecraft flies around it.

This is a small sculptural piece. A round balloon shaped head sits suspended on three legs that come to points. On one side is a gaping mouth with baleen teeth and on the other are thin crevices leading to a central ridge that act as the nasal passages. It has two dark blue eyes, one on top of the head and one right on the bottom. It is glazed with a combo of chartreuse and dark burgundy colors.

A loose, sketchy, geometric drawing shows specialists working around the Psyche spacecraft mounted to the launch vehicle, working with their hands or on computers, shadowy outline of the spacecraft with solar panels deployed in the background. The work is rough and unfinished, and the asteroid unformed, to show that the mission is still in progress and Psyche's true appearance is still unknown.

A grayscale pen stippling drawing shows a surreal landscape. In the upper right corner is an eye, peering at the Psyche spacecraft suspended beneath a large hand guiding it with delicate strings. A metallic humanoid figure looks at a flight path with a spyglass in front of its view. A desk is shown covered in books, cartographic instruments, and a mirror with a reflection of the Psyche asteroid.

A circular, low-relief sculpture sits on a black cardboard base. Crumpled silver and copper foils form torn ridges and sharp edges. Steel wool and chicken wire create tangled cavities. Gravel and sand are embedded throughout. Charcoal darkens recessed areas, and mirror fragments catch light within fractured metallic layers.

The sculpture is based on the outline of the spacecraft; each surface of the "satellite" becomes a canvas. Each piece has engraved images of the struggles endured by Psyche: the abandoning in the mountains, the secret life inside Cupid's palace, and finally the elevation. Such a stylistic touch is used intentionally, referring to the classical artistry of the Renaissance woodcut.

“Mission Psyche: Spacecraft Journal Entry” depicts the Psyche spacecraft alongside a breakdown of its instruments as though it were a page out of a cartographer’s journal. In the top left corner, it has the name of the spacecraft as well as its launch/arrival date. Above the middle of the page is a drawing of Psyche. Below that, as well as in the top right corner, are Psyche’s various instruments.

This project explores asteroid 16 Psyche by turning three magnetic field theories into abstract 2D animations. Psyche appears as a white silhouette while particles show invisible forces around it. One version shows it acting like a small magnetized planet, another shows a stronger magnetic shield, and the third shows no magnetic field but interaction with solar wind.
