A visceral still life charged with quiet contradiction. Butterfly and Ribs juxtaposes the raw, fleshy weight of a rib rack with the delicate, fleeting presence of a blue butterfly—life and death arranged on a reflective platter. The oval format amplifies the ceremonial tone, like a relic or offering caught between beauty and brutality.
This piece plays with balance: organic vs. ornamental, tenderness vs. tension. The butterfly isn’t just a visitor—it’s a witness.
