The Japanese artist Aki Inomata  realizes transparent hermit crab shells, which allow you to see the body of the crab even when it is wearing its “home”. The shells are decorated with sculptures of cities and landscapes from around the world, like the skyscrapers of New York,  wind mills, mountains of Thailand, etc.  Shells equipped with different architectures from several countries give an impression of an artwork that transverses frontiers.
