At First glance, rockets look like upside down carrots stretching from the earth to the universe. We can say this existence is normal in a weightless space.
Things become 'vice versa' if we change the way we look at them.
For example root vegetables, that grow full of nutrients, are also an energy source that can help us live.

Since childhood, I have enjoyed looking at the night sky. It makes me want to go beyond time and space and journey through limitless void. I feel I could get a sense of my own existence as a living organism... By sculpting a rocket, as the vehicle that can shorten the distance between myself and outerspace, I let my dreams fly with the spirit of a spaceman.
