This artwork, titled Kaigara Crab, belongs to Foundryon’s Small Galactic Fossils. With its layered carapace-like shell and dark segmented limbs, the creature resembles an uncanny version of a terrestrial crab—familiar, yet curiously alien. The warm tones of its protective shell contrast against the intricate ornamental backdrop, which glows with golden patterns and circular motifs that suggest reverence and preservation. Encased within a black frame with glass, the fossil appears both decorative and archival, as though it were rescued from a cabinet of otherworldly natural history.
