An Artist Replicates Space Odyssey Featuring Little Astronaut

This article forms part of the Decorative and Applied Arts Encyclopedia, a master reference hub providing a structured overview of design history, materials, movements, and practitioners.

This little astronaut — introduced and photographed by visual poet Mauco Sosa — crosses familiar things. Where does he go? What exactly does he learn about himself while trapped in a sack of smoke filters? What magic does he see in the day-to-day objects we take for granted?
