Two encounters
What changes.
What carries through.
The portrait brings light, transparency, and interior detail to the form. ProtoCel translates the source into illustrated color, contours, and movement.
These are artistic interpretations of a retained specimen. Pose, lighting, and surface treatment vary. The source connects the studies; neither is a recording of the creature’s exact movement in the world.
