Material — Living Lens

Living glass, not glass — light that glows from within.

Living glass, not glass. The model is the cornea and lens: wet optical biology, light that glows from within — not the cold specular gloss of frosted panels. This is the deliberate counter to generic "liquid glass."

Matte soft (tissue)Cards, fills, the ground — most of the UICalm, low-spread, warm-tinted. The resting state.
Living opticsHero moments only, used sparinglyInner glow, soft translucency, optical depth — the shine of a living eye.
