Ephemeroptera” (2023). Taking its title from the Greek words ephemeros (lasting a day) and pteron (wings), the work shows winged insects that have failed to reach their destination. Trapped in cobweb and fossilized, they symbolise the quotidian and ephemeral, the exceptional and the lasting. The circle of light between them is both an unclaimed prize and a barrier.
