The Psyche spacecraft is portrayed as an android with human features, wearing a paper crown and a serene expression. It sits in a small, minimal room draped in thick cloth, and lifts the obscuring cloth from models of Earth and Mars. On a dresser is a model Falcon Heavy in a bottle, and a framed picture of Earth from orbit. A picture of the asteroid hangs from the wall with a festive garland.

Connected to a clear acrylic dowel, flowing arches in a variety of shapes reach out, in order from smallest to largest, on both the right and left sides. Since the pieces are placed offset from the previous piece, the arches appear to be moving outwards from the center when spun, like ripples in water. The way the pieces flow out is to mimic the magnetic field surrounding the Psyche spacecraft.
