Cosmic Voyager

2018, Stainless Steel, White LEDs



Cosmic Voyager is constructed from laser-cut polished stainless steel bent into a polygonal swimming sea turtle. A futuristic city rises from within the turtle's body into an acrylic skylight dome above. Participants can walk underneath this majestic spaceship-like creature and peer upwards into the city within. 

Cosmic Voyager was inspired by the work of famous futurists Gene Roddenberry (creator of "Star Trek," which spawned a successor: "Voyager") and Buckminster Fuller. Cosmic Voyager combines the ancient mytheme of the "Cosmic Turtle," carrying the world on its back, with reflective futuristic design reminiscent of a "Spaceship Earth" traveling through the dark abyss of the Burning Man playa.

Cosmic Voyager was an Honorarium piece at Burning Man in 2018.
