Ross Lovegrove, known for his evolutionary design philosophy, will interpret data from the historic Polaris Dawnmission, which includes flying higher than any other similar mission to date, attempting the world’s first-ever commercial spacewalk and conducting 40 pioneering onboard experiments critical for scientific research. These - and other moments - will inspire a spectacular series of limited-edition artworks that will be made available for exhibition and sale to the public.
Ross is one of the world's most acclaimed and influential designers, renowned for his use of cutting-edge technology to produce futuristic, organic forms. His portfolio spans a wide array of creations, from iconic furniture, consumer products and visionary architectural concepts.
““As Far Away, So Deep Within” aims to be not only a visual spectacle but also an educational experience. It serves as an intellectual bridge connecting empirical realities of space travel with the aesthetic of art exploration.”
Ross Lovegrove.
Supporting St. Jude
This collaboration not only highlights the marvels of space exploration but also aims to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. Fifty percent of proceeds from sales will be donated to St. Jude, aiding their groundbreaking work to defeat childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

Vision and Objective
"As Far Away, So Deep Within" aims to represent and showcase the pioneering endeavors of human space travel. This series is a profound expression of human health and endurance within the context of our space environment, narrated through innovative interpretation of real data from the Polaris Dawn mission.
Each artwork in this collection is an intricate fusion of the scientific and the artistic. The series utilizes medical and environmental information obtained during the flight, transforming these elements into beautifully curious and thought-provoking 2D and 3D artworks. The collection transcends traditional art forms, offering viewers a unique insight into the complexities of human physiology in space and the critical importance of space exploration for future scientific advancements.
Complementary exhibitions will invite audiences to engage with a narrative that is as much about human resilience and potential as it is about the beauty of complex scientific data. The collection will stand as a testament to the symbiotic relationship between art and science, cognitive intuition and factual analytics, underscoring the role of artistic interpretation in advancing public understanding and awareness of critical scientific subjects.
