Originally illustrated by 19th-century French naturalist Charles Dessalines d’Orbigny, this scientifically precise crawfish transforms into something entirely unexpected. Reworked with Press Play’s signature pastel gradients and concentric radiating circles, the image is elevated from natural history plate to something nearly devotional. The crustacean becomes a sacred object—part biology, part surreal altar. Strange, spiritual, and slightly psychedelic, this is science reimagined with soul.

Part print lab, part time machine, part treasure hunt, Press Play mixes original works, adapted prints, and a deep curatorial dive through dusty archives in search of forgotten gems and visual oddities from art history’s fringes. Some are entirely our own invention; others are collaborations across centuries.
Art that’s smart, strange, a little subversive—and tastefully irreverent.
