An original etching printed on delicate silk gampi tissue, the image is gently beeswaxed to lend subtle structure and a luminous translucency, then meticulously stitched to celadon-colored washi paper whose soft green hue echoes the pearlescent tone of a monarch butterfly’s chrysalis. The layered materials create a tactile interplay of sheen and matte, translucence and solidity, enhancing the etched lines with a quiet depth that balances fragility and resilience.
