Selenium is as well essential for life as well as toxic in higher doses. Its light sensitivity makes it useful for light meters and photocopiers. There are three forms of selenium: black, grey and red.

Selenia the monster has a light side and a dark side – just like the moon. You never know which side she’s on at the moment. She likes to remain mysterious.
