Moth Mother

-$4000

She sat next to a dead tree, looking like a child wearing a jeweled mask, playing with sticks and stones. But she is more powerful than that. And once you look into her pale green eyes, you sense the presence of an other-worldly being. A being so ancient you want to call her mother. You realize her mask is her face and its jewel is her third eye peering into your soul. What at first appeared to be a stone in one hand, is actually a metallic sphere. She holds it high as it begins to tear open, spilling hundreds of shimmering seeds that scatter all over. Her other hand is not grasping sticks, but a light green plant, with branches covered in thorns and dark brown roots sparkling with the silver seeds. The tree next to her is not dead. It is awakening from a slumber that had shed its leaves to welcome this glittering pollination. And with her mind she casts a golden net unto the pale winter sky summoning rainbow moths to be by her side.
