Al-Dente Butterfly is a frenetic, surreal portrait where a grinning mouth—part hunger, part scream—anchors the composition. Above it, a nose erupts into the form of a butterfly, its wings spreading into streaming tendrils of color that collide against a dark, textured background.

Sealed under a thick layer of high-gloss epoxy, this resin skin traps the tension between desire and transformation, preserving a moment that feels playful, chaotic, and slightly unhinged. It is a portrait of a mind in full bloom, captured just before it breaks.
