Luciferase is the enzyme catalyst responsible for producing bioluminescence in living organisms. This series of works represents my pursuit of reimagining technology as a living form while maintaining a rigid grid and formal geometry. I was specifically interested in capturing the sensation of the "back-glow" emitted by screen technology, aiming to materialize the otherwise elusive, luminous space associated with screen addiction. Inspired by the biological mechanics of the cuttlefish, alongside the traditional crafts of spoon carving and quilting, this exploration ultimately led me to develop a prototype for a "psychic screen."

My material process directly reflects these biological and technological themes:

•	Luminous Layers: In several pieces, I collected wood shavings from the sides of hand-wrought supports and applied them to     the face of the works. These shavings were airbrushed with phosphorescent pigments and overlaid with sheer, multi-colored silks—some of which are UV-responsive. Stitched directly into the substrate, the fabric creates physical contours and a soft, internal glow that permeates the silk surface.
•	Surgical Alterations: In other works, I experimented with upholstery foam soaked in wet gesso, stitching it down before it    dried. I "surgically implanted" magnets into some of these forms, stitching them shut like body alterations. These magnets are either fixed to the surface with adhesives or held in place simply by their attraction to the wire mesh I used for stitching.
•	Integrated Lighting: In one instance, I wired the back of the piece with an independent ultraviolet lighting system, integrating the electronic components directly into the texture of the surface.
