“Glacier” – Iridescent Morpho Butterfly Composition by Hasharat

About the Item

Glacier by contemporary artist Hasharat is a mesmerizing entomological composition featuring various species of vivid blue Morpho butterflies arranged in a cascading vertical tableau. Set within an 8" x 15.5" black wooden case lined in black velvet, the iridescent wings shimmer with electric blues, violets, and silvery undertones, evoking the cool brilliance of glacial ice. The meticulously preserved specimens include large Morpho menelaus alongside smaller complementary species, each pinned with care to emphasize contrast and movement. A striking and poetic example of natural beauty as fine art, this piece is both scientifically captivating and decoratively powerful.
