The exterior soft, velvety materials of the Luciferase pieces – silicone and resin sometimes mixed with sand, plaster or metal dust – resemble the skin of an unknown species.
The interior diaphanous and translucent textures – epoxy resin mixed with colored pigments – take the shape of thorns, filaments and rocky surfaces. Some of them conjure up the translucent sparkle of fine stones such as amethyst, quartz or malachite, some the seductive eye of a predator from the great depths, and others the avid mouth of a carnivorous plant.
