Talented Artist Larysa Bernhardt Embroiders Giant Moths With Beautiful Designs

The idea for this unlikely partnership came from Bernhardt's longtime fascination with nostalgic textiles. To make sure they stay in good condition, she habitually checks for moth larvae in the folds of the cloth. This ritual triggered the idea of merging the delicate cloth fabric with its natural enemy. As a result, the artist also discovered a new love and appreciation for the winged insect. The way moths tirelessly and fearlessly reach for the light inspires me, Bernhardt tells to My Modern Met.
