Luna Moth Chrysalis by Maylee Christie, Glass and Jewels, 57 cm high by 75 cm wide by 70 cm deep, Unique.

Luna Moth Chrysalis by Maylee Christie is a unique sculpture crafted from glass and jewel mosaic. Measuring 57 cm high by 75 cm wide by 70 cm deep, it blends surrealism with nature-inspired form.

The sculpture depicts the delicate transformation of a pupa into a moth. Christie uses a vibrant mosaic of glass and jewels to build colour, texture, and light into the piece. Each fragment shimmers, catching the eye and evoking the fragile yet radiant beauty of metamorphosis. The work feels alive, as if the moth might at any moment emerge and take flight.

The chrysalis form curves with organic precision, while the moth’s wings carry an intricate pattern of colour and light. By combining jewel tones with translucent glass, Christie creates a sense of movement within stillness. The play of light across the surface changes throughout the day, giving the sculpture a constantly shifting presence.

Beyond its physical beauty, Luna Moth Chrysalis speaks of transformation, renewal, and the mystery of nature’s cycles. The surrealist influence heightens this symbolism, inviting viewers to reflect on change as both fragile and powerful.

Whether placed in natural light or within an interior setting, the sculpture becomes a focal point. Its mosaic surface glows with energy, while its subject matter carries deep poetic resonance. Christie captures not just a moth, but the wonder of becoming itself.
