Project Aster
In a world of competing ideas, why do you believe what you believe?

MADE
Project Aster is for anyone who has wrestled with the basis of their beliefs. It is an educational artwork that maps the complex lifecycle of belief—from Observation and Evaluation to the difficult paths of Denial and Deception. Every detail reflects the paradox that while we cannot access ‘raw reality’, our minds are wired for meaning and a shared yearning for the transcendental.

The stamp at the heart of Project Aster is crafted from genuine copper. I chose this precious metal to simultaneously represent the timelessness and frailty of human curiosity.
Over time, the copper will patina. Your choice to clean it or let it age becomes a powerful, interactive metaphor for the journey depicted on the poster itself: a tangible choice between Complacency and intentional Evaluation in your own search for truth. This is what makes it a living artifact.
The Genesis Run
To launch the project, we are running a one-time, exclusive sale of 44 final-quality, copper-foiled posters from the original 2023 test production. These are the only posters of this specific run that will ever be sold.Each poster is a living artifact from the project's origin, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of its history before the wider release of future print-on-demand and digital versions.
Author's Note
Project Aster grew out of my lifelong curiosity about beliefs, inspired by my Christian upbringing in Nigeria's pluralistic enviroment. After years of research, I designed this poster to give a tangible, artistic form to the complex ways we build our beliefs. Having now lived on three continents, I’ve seen firsthand how ideas change as they travel—the very process of Transmission this artwork seeks to explore.
