While learning how to navigate this new terrain of uncertainty from the safety of my home studio, my mind wonders far away and under the ocean surface in search of some amusement and diversion. This “pesce scatola” ring - inspired by a boxfish - is one of the weirder outcomes.
When feeling threatened, the square-shaped boxfish emits a toxin which can be lethal to other species in the reef. This “pesce scatola” ring - instead of releasing toxins - can dispense “golden” drops of Purell in my own hands (see images). It’s the ideal accessory for the brief walks with my husband and dog when I am not barricaded inside the house.
