Curator’s Note
The sculpture replicates the profile geometry of the Falcon 9 first-stage booster at 1:3 scale in 316L marine-grade stainless steel, mirror-polished. The decision to site it vertically in the museum garden rather than horizontally — as recovered boosters are stored — was taken by the studio without consultation with SpaceX, whose legal relationship with this work remains, as of the date of this catalog, unresolved.
