The sculpture of a millipede belongs to the series of works "Spines" by Alexey Kanis, for the creation of which the artist used a unique material - Italian travertine, the texture resembling aged bone. The form of the object combines a realistic image of vertebrae and an abstract image of an insect, which interact with each other at the junction of two directions of art.
