Lepidoptera Portraits

LEPIDOPTERA PORTRAITS, is a series of portraits of butterflies and moths. These portraits are about challenging the idea of interspecies body language and communication. In this series butterflies and moths are shown using the means and aesthetic that are normally used photographing portraits of people in simple studio settings. This body of work explores the facial expressions of these subjects and invites the viewer to consider the possibility of giving these other life forms meaning beyond their biological functions in the ecosystem.
