The Nomadic Nature Kit is an artwork made for future astronauts going on long-term flights into outer space. While symbolizing the ideal home and paradise, the plant-based artwork acts as a visual replacement for planet Earth, representing its natural beauty by depicting earthbound life cycles and plants.
