Artwork Description

 about this mixed media art toy

This sculpture from Siamak Nasr's series features a moth adorned with a crown and a gas mask over its mouth. The moth, often symbolizing transformation, vulnerability, and the fleeting nature of life, takes on new significance with the addition of a crown and gas mask.

The crown suggests a regal or divine presence, while the gas mask alludes to modern environmental or societal challenges, such as pollution or control.

This fusion of symbols invokes a reflection on the tension between power, fragility, and the inevitable changes faced by both nature and humanity. Through this piece, Nasr comments on the fragile relationship between the natural world and human intervention.
