Description
A cicada's life cycle unfolds across cream and sage green leaves, with reddish-brown insects at various stages of molting and development arranged throughout a central stem. The scientific illustration employs a naturalistic palette and meticulous detail, capturing both the delicate transparency of newly-emerged wings and the textured exoskeletons of earlier forms in a composition that reads as both botanical study and entomological documentation. Crafted from bamboo and made to order, with a drilled hole so it hangs on the wall as easily as it works on the counter. A kitchen essential carrying an independent artist's work, not a blank block from the big-box aisle.
