Some of the structures match what I saw in images and others are added just to make it look like there's a lot going on in there.

Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, ceramic artist and potter in Tucson, Arizona.
I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, sculpture, hamsas, ornaments, masks, and a variety of other forms.
I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.
I am in love with my medium. I love the process of frantically birthing clay monstrosities, subjecting them to an epic trial by fire, and sending them out into the world.

Rotifer Sculpture
Rotifers are tiny animal lifeforms which are distantly related to arthropods. They're transparent, cup-shaped creatures which can be viewed under a microscope. Most of the images I found showed and labeled the rotifer's internal structures and I attempted to recreate this in clay. Clay is not transparent of course, so it came out looking like the end results of a rotifer dissection.
