An astonishing curiosity composed of an open natural geode, lined with quartz crystals, containing a small miniature fetus modeled in white wax. This singular composition evokes the old scientific and surrealist cabinets of curiosities of the mid-20th century, mixing mineralogy, anatomy, and folk art. The contrast between the raw mineral texture of the geode and the organic fragility of the small body creates a particularly intriguing and poetic staging.
