Tagifuku niphnobles one of the varieties of puffer fish.Diaphonization is the art of staining the bones and cartilages of animals with special dyes (alcian blue and alizarin red the common ones) and then using enzymes(pepsin) to digest the rest of the tissues so it becomes almost transparent. This was my 7 months pandemic project to ethically source the dead animals and stain then for macro photography. 212 shots stacked as macro.
