The work is based on the shape of leaf-beetle larvae, formed using the wire-bending technique. The use of a typically unpopular zoomorphic form in the context of charming glass flacons encourages the viewer to reflect on the boundary between the beautiful and the repulsive.

At what point does repulsion transform into delight? And now, when the larva is on a pedestal in the gallery—glistening, glass, and dead… Is it acceptable to us now?
