Artwork description:

Nidia is a small (2 inches in diameter) composition which I made from soft, translucent organic gels and plant parts using my expertise in biochemistry. To transform it into the image of a mysterious, glowing sphere suspended by subtle folds, I utilized unique physical properties of organic gels; their predisposition to form soft, organic shapes and their ability to glow with light and vivid colors when subjected to deformations and photographed in the cross-polarized light.

Materials used:

acrylic face mount with floating frame
