Crystallized Zero-Gravity // souvenir product (speculative/ patent pending) // client: Virgin Galactic // With the dawn of space tourism comes the necessity to imagine new forms of memorializing the sensations of weightlessness – the sense of awe, calm and the beauty of a body free of earth’s gravity being at the heart of those memories. The proposed souvenir is to capture the essence of that experience beyond mere image.

The optical glass souvenir is a small personalized sculpture of an individual astronaut or group of astronauts suspended in zero- gravity inside the cabin of the spacecraft. Given to every astronaut that completes a mission, this souvenir will not only allow an astronaut to forever cherish the memory of their experience into space, but provide a physical illustration of their moment in zero- gravity.
