The choice of an astronaut as the central figure immediately evokes associations with adventure, exploration and the infinite possibilities of the universe. The pastel pink colour of the suit is a striking departure from the usual neutral colours in space travel. Pink is often associated with kindness, caring and fantasy. It is therefore the artist's intention to represent the role as a parent. The pink suit raises questions about the role of the astronaut. The hoop, which exudes both lightness and playfulness, emphasises a certain duality, suggesting a play with gravity and the limits of our experiences.
The Pink Astronaut has a parenting role, in the gymnastics pose which evokes a sense of vulnerability and contemplation. The hoop he holds can be seen as a symbol of circularity - the cycle of life, the connection between humans and the universe, or even the limitations we impose on ourselves. The bent posture can also convey the idea of seeking balance in an often chaotic and overwhelming space, both literally and figuratively.
