This shadow box artwork Monarch Butterfly Cabinet The Queen, features a real preserved Monarch Butterfly gently placed over the face of Queen Elizabeth I.
This Queen Cabinet, created by Ivan Duso, symbolizing metamorphosis, transformation, and the ephemeral nature of power and beauty. Creating an intriguing, almost surreal dialogue between past and present.
But there’s more.
This piece is not just for display. The back of the cabinet can be opened, allowing you to add your own small relics. You can place inside objects like:
AP porcelain teeth or nails; feathers found in the forest; small stones, personal keepsakes, or ritual items.
These additions turn the cabinet into a personal ex-voto, a symbolic artwork filled with your own story.
