My element is Germanium and the atomic number is 32. Germanium has been known as one of the useful elements known to be used for semiconductor industries. Germanium is used long during metals in compression pumps and fluorescent lamps.I first searched up compression pump levers which were very basic so I dug a little deeper and didn't go with something that is made from this element on a daily. From here, I decided to do a wide angle camera len that germanium is used in for the lens. I was able to   distinguish a way to show this by using negative and positive space. If I could print this a second time, I would like to try and experiment with mixed colors because I feel like it would of made the out lining pop more. I enjoyed the printing part because you were able to see the outcome of what you had created.
