On the kelpie
A kelpie, or water kelpie (Scottish Gaelic: Each-Uisge), is a shape-shifting spirit inhabiting lochs in Scottish folklore. The kelpie is the most common water spirit in Scottish folklore. It is usually described as a black horse-like creature, able to adopt human form. Some accounts state that the kelpie retains its hooves when appearing as a human
Almost every sizeable body of water in Scotland has an associated kelpie story, but the most extensively reported is that of Loch Ness.
The origins of narratives about the creature are unclear but the practical purpose of keeping children away from dangerous stretches of water and warning young women to be wary of handsome strangers has been noted in secondary literature.
I must add here that the kelpie combines the symbols of a monster and water, which could mean that it is derived from the ancient #IndoEuropean myth of the Dragon, which will soon be explained.

Aluminum versus perchloric acid
When aluminum is added to HCl, it reacts to form aluminum chloride and hydrogen gas. The H2 gas can ignite and the blue color is due to dissolved copper ions.

The artist
Henrique Oliveira creates his sculptures from a combination of wood, plywood and PVC. Sometimes they are quite large - the installations can occupy entire halls.
