WHEN THE EPHEMERAL BECOMES ETERNAL

For this unique piece, Dominique Arpa-Cirpka composed a striking symmetry evoking a butterfly with outstretched wings, where incandescent reds and electric blues contrast with graphic black and white patterns.

Each wing fragment is collected with the agreement and under the strict oversight of the relevant authorities, ensuring an ethical approach that respects wildlife. Frozen for eternity through secret natural binders and pigments developed by the artist, the organic material retains its original iridescence and reacts hypnotically to shifts in light.

The back of the dial offers a striking textured contrast, pairing the roughness of dark mineral fragments with a milky way of blue lapis lazuli pastel dust, giving the piece a cosmic depth.
