Paradise
I made this diorama in a box for my home collection, not for sale. There are a lot of things and symbols here that relate not only to the Alien franchise, but also to my own world and my own interpretations of the Alien world.

TELEPATHIC CLAY
(excerpt from my travel diaries)
For some reason, the xenomorphs won’t use their hands for fine work. Not that they can’t do it at all; they do make some tools, but they apparently dislike the process.
David and I came up with an idea to create a pathogen-based substance for them to shape in whatever way they like by using mental commands.
Our telepathic 3D printer became a sensation. The xenomorphs used it to build their nests, and then a whole city with air bridges and beautiful archways. They liked it so much more than using their hands.
Before this invention, we used to believe that the xenos simply had no need of household tools, furniture, or works of art. But, after we gave them an appropriate technology, their development took a leap we could only marvel at.
The downside was that the xenos would discard the items they didn’t like by merely dropping them from the trees. They didn’t seem to mind the trash heaps forming on the ground. Those heaps were smaller, and less revulsive, than landfills on Earth, but still they looked quite similar. I couldn’t help but use it to tease David: Look at your perfect creations picking up one of the worst human habits. They must’ve somehow inherited it.

My drawn illustration for this story:
AI generations in which I tried to visualize something similar to our forest with xenomorph nests and other bizarre things made from this “clay”. It's a little weird and surreal, but I like it. Especially the first drawing. It's a lot like if my world Luarill had a Xenomorph Grove.
