A tribute to space exploration
1/1
Description
March 2031 – Something New About Perseverance is a visionary painting that pays tribute to the Martian rover while imagining its future. Valérie Lacalmontie depicts a poetic future where Perseverance, after completing its mission, gives way to a lineage continuing the exploration of the Red Planet.
