Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes: Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong. Hark! now I hear them,—ding-dong, bell.

This cicada is in its nymph phase! It is about to climb a tree and molt to reveal its adult form. If you look at this drawing, you can see where the wings are hidden. ✨

Cobra Lily, 2024

From my series of flower transformation vases inspired by queer floriography & ancient mythology. The Cobra Lily can change from male to female or hermaphrodite from year to year, so I claimed it as a symbol of genderfluidity.
