DRAGON FRUIT COMES IN A VARIETY OF SPECIES, ALL OF WHICH COME FROM CACTI. OF THESE PLANTS SOME HAVE BOTH WATER RETENTION CAPABILITIES AND NEEDLE PROTECTION WHILE OTHERS ONLY CONTAIN THE WATER RETENTION ASPECT. MOREOVER, WHEN TILING I WANTED TO KEEP THE ORGANIC FLUIDITY OF THE FRUIT ITSELF WHILE ADDING THE PROTECTIVE QUALITY OF THE CACTI NEEDLE AND THE REACTIVE QUALITIES OF A VENUS FLY TRAP. ULTIMATELY REDESIGNING THE SKIN FOR ULTIMATE PROTECTION.
