“The Space Hiker” (2021) • Digital Illustration   From the artist: “Outer space is largely unknown to us, yet we create so many stories and ideas based on it. Humans seem to like thinking about the unknown. So what if you went on a little trek through space, across many planets and moons? A space hike, with you as the space hiker. Lost in the stars, maybe it’s lonely out there, or maybe you have all you need. That was the point of this work, to make you think of the unknown! And also as an excuse for me to design a fun sci-fi spacesuit. I’m currently an art student at UWEC and hope to create many more thought-provoking and/or fun pieces while I continue to develop as an artist. You can find me online, if you dare.”
