I was interviewed and commissioned by The Washington Post magazine to create art for a subject I was currently interested in.

This piece is called “The Doctor and the Rabbit”. I was obsessed with NASA’s space rover InSight at the time. View the piece here.

Need something to keep your mind off the political upheaval? Artist Lydia Ortiz has an idea: space rovers. Not only do the Americans have InSight probing the surface of Mars like a planetary doctor, but now China has a rover, Yutu-2 (or Jade Rabbit-2), on the far side of the moon, a first in space exploration. “I like thinking and reading up on space exploration, most times to escape other things in the news,” Ortiz says. “It also often gives me perspective on how small I am.”
