James March




What does it feel like to live as an astronaut—without ever leaving Earth? In 2021, I embarked on an unusual experiment, confining myself to a walk-in closet in my apartment for two days to simulate the isolation of space travel. No zero gravity, no breathtaking views of Earth, but a strict routine of work, exercise, and freeze-dried meals. Inspired by life aboard the International Space Station and the challenges future explorers may face on Mars, this immersive account blends personal reflections with visual documentation, offering a glimpse into the psychological and physical effects of extreme isolation.
