Almendra, who was formerly a truck driver, has always been keenly aware of invisible labor and the individuals considered unsightly in our society. Slugs, which are pests and often seen as disgusting, act as stand ins for these vulnerable and overlooked individuals. By coating them in lapis lazuli, a rare and precious material, he emphasizes their immense value.
