Fantastic Curiosity Box - Original Handcrafted Creation - "Eclat-Fugace" Sardine

A fragment of an enchanted world to collect

"She crossed my field of vision like a starburst falling into the water. She didn't slow down, she didn't hesitate. She shone. And in that luminous wake, I thought I perceived memories... Perhaps my own. Perhaps those of another."

Each box is a precious capsule, containing a rare creature collected during astral or dreamlike expeditions, in lands forgotten by our perceptions. Inspired by cabinets of curiosities, each work is unique and destined to be collected. 

Collection record n°138 – "Fleeting-Glimmer" Sardine

Common name
Fleeting-Glimmer Sardine

Scientific name
Luminella velocita

Collection location
Saline Shard Flow between two shimmering waves, during a foam dance off the Memorial Sea

Collection date
Suspended moment – between the last ray of day and the first dream of night 

Natural habitat
It always swims outside of currents, slightly against the flow, in areas of changing light. It is often found where thoughts get lost and memories seek an outlet. It is a tireless traveler.

Particularities
Its slender body is covered with iridescent sequins. It sparkles with every movement, like a moonbeam gliding on water. It is known to carry fragments of memory with it, which it sometimes releases in the form of poetic sparks.

It is said that a Fleeting-Glimmer always passes at the exact moment one doubts... to recall the fleeting beauty of life.

Anecdote of the encounter
"She appeared without warning, brushed past me with all her brilliance, then slowed down. Just enough for me to see her. Just enough for her to leave an image in me, like a brief revelation."
