LPS

The limulus is a chelicerate arthropod, the only representative of the genus Limulus, which has never produced many species, it is considered a living fossil as its appearance has remained unchanged for 250 million years. Limulus are mainly found on the east coast of North America, from Maine to southern Florida, and in the Gulf of Mexico to the Yucatán Peninsula. Currently, this being is used in the medical field, their blue-coloured blood is used to test prostheses to be inserted into the human body.

LPS is inspired by this animal; it is an unstable sculpture. Atop a pin-thick steel rod with a sphere as its base, hovers a limulus in precarious balance. This symbol expresses in an image the modification of the life of this being in relation to human action. The sculpture, which is so subtle, always produces a vibration as a result of the extreme tension to which the elements that compose it are subjected, the same ones used to make the prostheses.
