In this striking composition, two hibiscus blossoms unfold in full bloom, their pale lavender petals tremble with life against a backdrop of deep shadow. At their centres, a vivid crimson bursts outward, surrounding the golden pollen like a sun at the heart of a universe. The flowers are luminous, delicate and alive with transience.
But above the blossom, upon the green foliage, a quieter drama unfolds. A caterpillar has begun its patient work, etching holes into the leaves to fill its belly. What might seem destructive at first glance is, in truth, part of a larger harmony. The plant nourishes the caterpillar, who in turn may someday return to this hibiscus blossom, metamorphosed into a butterfly or moth, a pollinator.
