Fragile wings. Relentless journey.

The Long Migration captures the Monarch Butterfly mid-odyssey, a species known for one of the longest migrations in the insect world. Traveling thousands of miles across generations, these butterflies navigate with quiet precision, returning to the same forests year after year.

Brilliant orange and black warn predators of a hidden defense: toxins absorbed from milkweed during their caterpillar stage make them unpalatable, a small but powerful shield in a perilous journey.

This colored ink and Inktense piece brings their movement and resilience to life, honoring a traveler whose path grows more uncertain with habitat loss and changing climates.
