This sculptural rendition encapsulates the intricate details of microscopic life, inspired by the meticulous illustrations of Ernst Haeckel. I strive to capture a moment of natural perfection, frozen in the clarity of glass—a testament to both the medium’s versatility and my own evolution as an artist. I chose to use borosilicate glass due to the unparalleled level of detail and delicacy allowed through the process of flameworking.
