An artistic interpretation of asteroid Psyche shows a rough, muted surface rather than a shiny metal one. It appears dusty and uneven, with shallow craters suggesting impacts over time. The texture hints at a mix of metal and debris, reflecting age and uncertainty, rather than clearly revealing what lies beneath.

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 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.

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.
