This one-of-a-kind wall piece centers around a male Coscinera hercules moth, an impressive and rarely seen species, carefully pinned and spread by hand. The moth is surrounded by a layered botanical composition of real preserved mushrooms, dried natural florals, and paper florals, creating a quiet, intentional balance between permanence and fragility.
The piece is housed in an antique metal frame with ornate detailing, complete with its original convex bubble glass, which adds depth and subtle distortion to the composition. The curvature of the glass draws the eye inward, giving the work a sense of movement while preserving the integrity of its age.
All specimens used in this piece were ethically sourced, and the work was assembled with respect for both the materials and their natural histories. Minor signs of age may be present on the frame and glass, consistent with antique materials, and are considered part of the character of the piece. These do not detract from the overall appearance or structural integrity.
This artwork is entirely one of a kind and will not be recreated.
Dimensions:
Width- 17 1/8 IN.
