Painful beauty portrayed with gloves

Beauty hurts sometimes. That’s why Aaron Ansarov and Anna Ansarov wear gloves to collect and portray these transparent creatures. Because they hurt, burn them.

They are beautiful, but also have an elegant name: the Portuguese caravel ( Physalia physalis ). And no, they're not jellyfish, they're polyp colonies. But they are more poisonous than many jellyfish. That's why the gloves. And because they're beautiful, portraits.
