Artwork description:

Aperia is a small (2 inches in diameter), abstract form which I made from solidified, transparent organic gels using my expertise in biochemistry. To transform it into an image of a magical, glowing flower, 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.

Photographic paper under acrylic, mounted on 2 inches deep floating frame.
