The Story
An astronaut sits—frozen in the iconic pose of Rodin’s The Thinker—the rock symbolizing the edge of a new era.
Where Rodin’s sculpture embodied classical philosophy and introspection, this Thinker reflects in the age of artificial intelligence, space exploration, and rapidly shifting ground beneath our feet. Surrounded by the vast unknowns of both cosmos and code, this figure contemplates a different kind of existence—one shaped not only by human reason, but by machines, data, and exponential discovery.
Yet, in this contemplation, the beauty of human nature shines eternal. Our creativity, our capacity to dream beyond the tangible, to weave stories and meaning from stardust and struggle, remains unmatched. Machines may mimic, but they cannot replace the singular spark of humanity—the heart that imagines, the mind that wonders, the soul that creates. This Thinker affirms that no algorithm can rival the intricate, imperfect splendor of being human.
In a time when motion defines progress, The Thinker invites stillness. It asks: what does it mean to be human when the tools we create begin to think with us? When our futures stretch far beyond the Earth, into digital and interstellar realms? This is a moment of pause—a meditation on the beauty, the strangeness, and the irreplaceable essence of human thought itself.

Pre-order
When you place a pre-order for our artwork, it means you're reserving your piece as part of a limited production run. We first collect a series of orders to ensure efficient and high-quality manufacturing, allowing us to produce the artwork in batches. Once we reach the optimal number of pre-orders, production will begin promptly.
Our team is committed to crafting each piece with meticulous care and the utmost speed possible, using premium materials and techniques to meet our exacting standards. However, due to the artisanal nature of the process and variables like material sourcing and printing timelines, we are unable to provide a precise delivery date at the time of ordering.
Rest assured, we will keep you informed with periodic updates on production progress via email. You will receive a final notification once your artwork is complete and ready for shipment, along with tracking details for a seamless delivery experience. Thank you for your patience and support in bringing this creation to life.
Made-to-order
When you select a made-to-order artwork, it signifies that production begins exclusively upon receiving your purchase. This approach ensures that each piece is crafted specifically for you, as a sold item, allowing us to dedicate our resources and expertise to fulfilling your order with precision and care.
Unlike mass-produced items, we do not create the artwork in advance or to individual custom specifications; instead, your order directly triggers the process, guaranteeing that it is made only because it has been acquired. Our artisans employ the finest materials and techniques to deliver a high-quality, one-of-a-kind reproduction tailored to our established design.
This method supports sustainable production while maintaining exceptional standards. We appreciate your choice to invest in a truly bespoke experience.
Time line
Regarding the production timeline for your artwork order, we begin by gathering a sufficient number of orders to optimize our artisanal process and ensure the highest quality. This initial phase typically lasts about four weeks, after which production commences without delay.
Our dedicated team then works diligently and as swiftly as possible, employing meticulous craftsmanship to bring your piece to life. The actual production phase will require an additional number of weeks, depending on the complexity and scale of the artwork, to guarantee exceptional results. At this point, it is not possible to provide an exact delivery date or time, as variables in the process may influence the final schedule.
Throughout this journey, we will provide you with periodic updates via email, sharing progress on the creation of your beautiful artwork. We value your patience and look forward to delivering a piece that exceeds your expectations.
Limited edition number allocation
Limited edition numbers are assigned based on availability, and we’re not able to take requests for specific numbers. Many collectors ask for the same numbers, and to keep everything fair and accurate we allocate numbers on a first-come, first-served basis. Editions are numbered consecutively starting from 1 as orders are confirmed. We also reserve a small selection of numbers, and for that reason we don’t publish which numbers are available or already sold.
