Inspired by Franz Kafka’s short story The Metamorphosis, this reductionist-futurist object is a stylized representation of a trilobite containing a simple electrical circuit with a battery and two LED lights. The work intertwines multiple layers of time, symbolizing both a deep layer in which fossilized matter retains the form of prehistoric life, and a layer in which a living organism has undergone a transformative journey and now manifests as a ‚stone‘.

This elegant, symmetrical representation serves as an allegory for the origin of life on Earth and turns into a wearable amulet symbolizing metamorphosis – the transition from organic to inorganic and from inorganic to electric, from fossils of the past to fossils of the future.
