The story of “the little prince” expresses several perspectives. We image and compare the crew of the astronauts that live and work at the Moon with the little prince who lives in the planet of the popular story. By following the story of the little prince, a rose is also needed at the Moon. However, the Moon doesn’t have the conditions that are essential for life, for example there is no water and no atmosphere. Any humans that will travel to the Moon to carry out research/work, will start missing anything that feels like home, our precious Earth. The idea of our project is to send an artificial rose petal with the scent of the rose with the aim of bringing a familiar smell to the lunastronauts.
Dimensions:
1 x 1 x 1 cm
Medium:
1cm petal made of clay mixed with real rose extract
