What is "Ascension"
In this fantastical story, an astronaut experiences a catastrophic event that sends them spiraling from space into the ocean at the exact same time as the green flash. Tragically, they sink to the bottom of the ocean. However, in a mystical twist, the astronaut is taken and reborn from the head of an octopus, a creature symbolizing transformation and adaptability.
This rebirth takes place at the feet of their ancestors in Puerto Rico, where they reconnect with their heritage. As the astronaut emerges from the ocean, they carry the wisdom and experiences of both the cosmos and their lineage. Surrounded by the spirits of their ancestors, they embrace their new journey, embodying the merging of human exploration and deep-rooted cultural history, and setting forth on a journey to honor both worlds.
