The Moth

Pale mushrooms sprout from the wings and body of this moth, which hovers above a glowing orange arch on a green ground scattered with patterned medallions. Its lower wings dissolve into silver acanthus scrolls, blending insect, fungus, and ornament into a single form.

The image brings together two of the forest’s quiet workers: the night-flying moth and the fungi that return everything to the soil. It’s a meditation on decay, growth, and how closely the two are bound together.
