Mars emerged from a contradiction encountered throughout the development of MIGRAR.
As conversations about colonizing other planets becomes increasingly common, movement across the Earth itself remainds deeply contested. The work takes its title from both the red planet and the Roman god of war, drawing attention to humanity’s enduring desire to destroy community instead of building community.
Created using the MIGRAR salt technique, the surface resembles a distant landscape and something viewed through a microscope. The resulting forms evoke alien soil, blood, cellular structures, deserts, or planetary terrain.
Within the context of MIGRAR, Mars questions the impulse to search for another world before learning how to care for the one we already have.
