“My piece is exploring why we (people) deem insects as gross and ugly despite their natural abundance and necessity. Specifically, thinking insects aren’t deserving of something as luxurious and beautiful as a crown. I used acrylic paint and beeswax crayons on board; the crayons felt like a natural medium to use, symbolizing how we can live harmoniously with the subject of my piece.”
