The Red Planet is storytelling visual art through augmented reality.
To recapitulate the story, the child who admires Mars suffers trauma from his family, runs away from home, and is connected to a new world by a mysterious creature.
In this piece, the kid is colored in black because I don't want to specify any specific gender or race, which means it is comprehensive. The wavy lines drawn all over the body indicate that he has an unrefined mind like all other humans, in different states of mind, sometimes determined, sometimes hesitant, or confused.
In the end, there is a scene where everything disappears. It can be a dream or an invisible future.
