Moult into a New World

I’ve collected Dragonfly nymph moults since I was a child, and I see something new every time I look at them. These moults are evidence of the various transformative forms different dragonfly species undertake in their journey through life. The drawings are representational aside from the fact they’re comprised of bright fluorescent colours. By changing the color, I hope to change viewers' way of looking at the bugs, by encouraging them to consider how they perceive the world, as well as enhance their understanding of its evolution by choosing to depict the dragonfly in its larval state.
