9 dichroic coated lepidoptera (Owl Butterfly, Atlas Moth and Monarch) are casted from specimens into cast glass. Each is mounted on a pin and affixed to the wall in a grid with one of the specimens is off to the right as if flying away.

The specimens are casted in a range of clear to grey transparent glass, so depending on the light source and the viewers position, the dichroic coating either reflects a rainbow of colors or becomes transparent, giving the butterflies a holographic affect, much akin to being immersed in a vivid daydream

Dimensions: 40 x 36 x 6 inches
