A one-of-a-kind handmade coffin shadowbox — lush, strange and quietly alive, for those who understand that beauty and death have always kept the same company.

Inside a hand-carved wooden frame in a unique sharo shape, a world has been arranged with great care: a real preserved centipede — ancient, armoured, magnificent — shares the space with a real Deilephila elpenor (elephant hawk-moth), its wings the colour of old rose and warm earth, and a white butterfly, pale as a held breath. Cream lace runs around them like a path through a garden that has gone slightly feral. Around the edges, dried marigolds in gold and amber and rust press against the deep teal-green velvet backing, the kind of green that exists only in the deepest part of a forest in July.

This is a piece about the things that live alongside us that we do not look at closely enough. Look closely.

LORE

The centipede has been here longer
than the flowers.
The moth arrived at dusk
and decided to stay.
The butterfly came last —
white, unhurried,
the way things arrive
when they are not afraid.
The lace was already there.
The velvet remembers
the colour of the forest
in the hour before dark.
Memento vivere —
remember to live —
which is harder than it sounds
and more urgent
than we usually admit.
