Relic
Relic from the Future, Not the Past — a futuristic creature with glowing, elastic bones that illuminate when squeezed.

A relic is usually associated with the past, but in this project, the goal is to envision a relic excavated from the future that transforms the concept of a bone—not rigid, but entirely flexible.
The relic had to be designed as a spine because of my fascination with spines—they're beautiful and functional structures. I 3D modeled the spine in Blender, then printed one segment using soft TPU filament. An FSR pressure sensor was integrated to modulate an LED embedded within the bone. *Relic* is currently in its first prototype stage, with plans for the second prototype to be made of silicon, giving it a more fleshy, realistic appearance.
