Mia, a visionary engineer, turns her tragedy into a catalyst for sustainable living through her revolutionary ExoGardens. Lucia fights to unveil the truth behind the Titans and reclaim humanity's right to thrive. Stella, a born astronaut, reaches for the stars, only to discover that survival on Mars demands more than just courage and legacy. Together, their paths intertwine in a desperate race against time to forge a future for humanity that harmonizes with the universe itself. Join them on a journey of survival, innovation, and rebirth across two worlds.
The comic book and the video were created as educational elements for the ExoGarden installation, exhibited at MU Hybrid Art House between December 15, 2023, and March 24, 2024.
Forced to flee the devastating bushfires unleashed by the Titans in Australia, Mia and her family found sanctuary in Antarctica. There, amid a community of refugees, they faced the challenge of adjusting to the harsh, cold conditions—a daunting yet preferable alternative to the wildfires and turmoil they left behind.
Lucia, an ecologist and botanist, is navigating the intense drought conditions in Spain and living under a military regime instituted in Madrid to protect the residents from the Titans and safeguard resources. Alongside her colleagues, she initiated "La Resistencia," a movement focused on cultivating and distributing food to the starving and oppressed people of Madrid.
Born into a family of celebrated astronauts, Stella's destiny seemed written in the stars. Fulfilling her dream of becoming an astronaut, Stella embarked on a mission to Mars, aiming to escape the Titans' threat and play her part in humanity's cosmic expansion. However, she soon faced the stark realities of life on another planet, forcing her to adapt to the challenges of interplanetary living.
