Everyone is born unique, receives different properties, and works with what is given. The liquid of life flows in its own way through every living being.

Upper part can be detached (but no fly like ufo, it's PS). This is the only really clean photo showing it's full beauty.

"Constellations" of air bubbles that didn't manage to escape the epoxy while it was still liquid.

Jellyfish - cgi twin of the physical sculpture. The central "initiation" part is cut from the original footage.

The initial digital part of the Crystal Shield. The initial leak from the center may be interpreted as a birth or a separate act within the experience of living.

Conceptual sculpture, 95x95x8cm, epoxy, metal, 2020

Side lore: abandoned structure found in a depth of Neptune, crystal like structure existing under colossal pressures.

Another filtered image of "constellation" surface texture.

Filled reservoirs. Metaphor: current resulting mental/physical state of mind/body. The pools are simply names for any practice like doing math, dancing,codding, believing, laying, thinking, talking. Where more fill is more proficiency/performance in a field. If doing math and dancing may seem separate categories coming to broader categories (even neglecting determining of terms) like thinking and talking the edges dissolve as talking requires thinking (including machine thinking), but not vice versa. This is where the metaphor reaches its limits. To expand it a bit more, one could set a net of connections between pools. More: dense the net and make it evolve relating outer variables. Inspired of neural, web, net structures, anything what is heavily associated as a source or intelligence or product of one.

The sculpture was activated only once during filming within the ceremony like session.
