"Aresphere"

Inspired by mars, the title combines “Ares,” the Greek god of war, referencing Mars’ mythological roots, with “sphere,” evoking not only the planet’s form but also the organic qualities of its atmosphere.

Acting as both a spatial and conceptual threshold, "Aresphere" shapes the narrative of exploration, challenging us to engage with the known and unknown.
