We are the astronaut; our devices our space suits, social media our sponsors.

We are connected but separate, we seek transcendence, search the void, dependent on technology to lead us through the darkness.

The Astronauts in this series practice mudras, expressing our never-ending attempts at connecting with something bigger than ourselves.

We think the space suit protects us, yet the real accomplishment might be to lose it and touch the universe directly; despite the terror of suffocation.

The viewer is invited to join the astronaut in a (head)space walk via their own technology.
