Concept suit for Sijeion Wayfinder; a psychonavigator chosen to pilot a long voyage solar sail starship for his unnaturally SLOW aging after encountering a solar flare storm 47 years prior as a young astronaut trainee.
This nano-tech counter-pressure bio-mimicry spacesuit is symbiotic in nature with retractable (morphing/expanding) outer exoskeleton like armor, pressurized helmet, gloves and BOOTS that has been designed specially for the solar sail pilot to act as a sustainable life support system and protect against hazards in the environments of deep space and alien planets.
Inspiration for the form of the helmet comes from how the shape of a dolphins skull and other animals that use sonar/echolocation is related to their ability to navigate with sound vibration and communicate through "CymaGlyphs" or picture-word patterns.
