Therma is derived from the Greek word thermos (θέρμος), meaning heat. In microbiology, it refers to thermophilic organisms that thrive in high-temperature environments.
One notable example is Thermus Aquaticus, a bacterium discovered in hot springs, renowned for its role in DNA amplification through PCR.
Known for forming bright orange or reddish colonies, Thermus Aquaticus symbolises resilience, adaptation, and hidden complexity, qualities echoed in the clustered forms and fiery palette of this piece.
