Sammy Slabbinck works with the tactile quality of vintage print, cutting and pasting diverse landscape features and iconic architectural landmarks into a new, distorted reality. In this squared composition, the artist places oversized butterfly and moth imagery at the forefront, forcing a confrontation between the fragility of insect wing variations and the permanence of stone and steel.

The piece draws on the nostalgic charm of children's book illustrations while maintaining a rigorous conceptual framework that questions our place in the environment. By applying a scientific perspective to these artistic animal representations, Slabbinck captures a sense of ineffable invincibility, where the small pollinators of the earth become the true giants of the horizon.
