Driessens & Verstappen, Fulgurites Endoscopy (2001)
A fulgurite is a tubelike formation in sand or rock, caused by lightning. The immense heat in the core of the beam makes the sand vaporize, and a beautifully glazed inner surface remains. A machine is developed to observe these inner structures of fulgurites. The objects, mounted on an XY table can be viewed through an endoscope.

The cliché thought about ostriches is their hiding behavior, putting their head in the ground. I like to do this too in my work. by hiding or taking the original meaning away, the only meaning left is that of a bare and empty visual language. I think there is a lot of beauty in these residues.
