As human-induced climate change accelerates, the possibility of saving our planet seems to be slipping away. In response, the idea of space as a refuge is no longer confined to science fiction—it is becoming a tangible strategy for survival.

The dinosaurs didn’t have a space program explores the concept of colonizing Mars, the most potentially habitable planet in our solar system despite its hostile conditions: a paper-thin atmosphere, extreme cold, and constant radiation.

The exhibition presents a series of photographs offering abstract visions of what might await us beyond Earth. Alongside these, a video work follows a solitary, sand-colored astronaut traversing an alien terrain—part dreamscape, part survival scenario.

The project continues an ongoing investigation into themes of fear, fragility, and existential threat. Previous works have dealt with phobias, hypochondria, death and the afterlife, and the apocalyptic undertones of climate and geopolitical instability.

Here, space travel emerges as the next rung on the ladder of catastrophe.
