The first triptych exhibits a juxtaposition in both meaning and color between the flowers and desolate background. Terraforming revolves around the idea of growing, expanding and inhabiting life on foreign and empty planets. The flowers are representational of life that has yet to come.
Going beyond normal human reach and capabilities to create a habitable home from a within foreign planet are ideas that lie in the concept of terraforming. The use of human hands pertains to this concept in a way in which we are extending the human presence and reaching towards new heights. The hands act as a metaphor for both humans as a species and space exploration collectively.
The ouroboros symbolizes the cyclic nature of the universe: creation out of destruction, life out of death. Here in the third triptych the ouroboros represents the moving on from Earth to a new home and thus creating new life on a new planet from the passing of an older one.
