"Portal" by Hasharat – Specimen Composition in Radiant Symmetry

About the Item

"Portal" is a meticulously arranged entomological assemblage composed of dozens of vividly iridescent beetles and exotic insect specimens. Created by the contemporary artist Hasharat, this work invites viewers to contemplate the delicate structure and vibrant diversity of the insect world, captured in a striking radial composition that evokes both scientific precision and visual poetry. The insects are mounted within a hinged black wooden display case lined with a crisp white background, creating a dramatic contrast that enhances the jewel-like colors and forms. Each specimen is carefully selected for its color, shape, and texture, forming a harmonious, almost kaleidoscopic pattern at the center of the piece. More than a cabinet of curiosities, "Portal" acts as a window into the intricate beauty of natural design—simultaneously meditative, decorative, and thought-provoking. It stands equally at home in contemporary interiors, collections of natural history, or conceptual art settings. Measures: 12.5" x 12.5"
