This piece is 24 inches by 13.5 inches. Red and black ink marks on 0.25 inch plexiglass were utilized to create lines that outline the shape of Psyche. There are two major craters and a series of rifts on the surface that appear pockmarked with small craters. As light shines through the plexiglass, red and blue shadows in the shape of Psyche are cast onto a white background.

Three semicircles sit at the center of the piece, the smallest at the center representing the core of our planet, and surrounding it planet Earth itself with land and ocean masses. The third semicircle encases the other two with an intense, dark black, symbolizing the vastness of space. Stemming from the Earth are several strands reaching out towards a star. One of these strands has a distinctive appearance of a strand of DNA. Also featured are the Sun, looming in the background in an intense and vibrant yellow, along with the Moon floating slightly to the side and above planet Earth. At the bottom of the design, 4 lines float beneath the Earth, becoming increasingly thinner and faded.

At the center of the piece, a close, semi-transparent portrait of Psyche with the universe and Psyche mission motifs surrounding her in an expressionist style. The portrait of the goddess is painted bright yellow, with contrasting orange and purple for undertones and shading. In place of eyes, there is an abstract drawing made out of marker and colored tape of the Psyche mission spacecraft. Surrounding her face, the projected flight overview of the spacecraft is painted in a spiraled motion further into the solar system. The top left corner has the word “Psyche” broken up by syllables in blue letters with textured yellow/blue background and black/white wavy lines. The top right corner has a neon orange, black, and white line textured background with the first phase postage stamped. On top of the stamp, “Madam in her Universe” is written on the top while “Mission to Psyche” is on the bottom, and “2015-2027” in the middle. Under the stamp the Psyche Mission tagline, “Journey to a Metal World”, is written vertically in cursive along a blue and white background to the bottom right corner, with the word “to” replaced for the number “2” in orange. The bottom right corner has the yellow shoulder of the Goddess with her hand on her chest, with her hand touching the number “16” in blue on her heart. There are pieces of tin foil overlapping her body with white and black wavy lines. The bottom left corner has the planets Jupitar and Mars bleeding off the canvas and covering the goddess’s left shoulder. Mars is in front of Jupiter and there is aluminum foil outlining Mars.

An infographic with a dark background representing space. Stars and gradient colors represent nebulas. An illustrated Psyche spacecraft is on the left upper corner, with its fully equipped body (bus) on its right. The dimensions (height, width) of the spacecraft is shown. Below the spacecraft is an IKEA-manual like diagram about the components of the spacecraft (propulsion system, gamma ray & neuron spectrometer, X-band antenna, magnetometer, imagers). On the right of the infographic lies an illustrated asteroid, with two annotations about its chemical components (main chemical composition and surface elements composition).
