Hail Mary

Sam's collector loves Project Hail Mary, the book and film, and wanted a space scene as a personal nod to the story. Sam put a red-suited astronaut on the upper arm, reaching for a glowing Earth, and let a nebula of magenta, teal and deep blue pour down the outer arm to the wrist so the panel flows with the full length of the arm. The collector traveled from Wichita Falls for all three sessions, finished in October 2026. By Sam McAleese.
