Monarch Migration

$500.00

Monarch Migration by José Cruz Sánchez is a tribute to one of nature’s most poetic journeys. Hand-carved from a single jícara, this spherical sculpture features a flurry of monarch butterflies in mid-flight, their golden wings etched with precision against a backdrop of rhythmic black linework. Each butterfly is distinct, yet together they form a circular dance — evoking motion, memory, and transformation. The contrast between the warm ochre and the dark background brings depth and clarity to every wingbeat. Mounted on a black wooden base, this piece is both grounded and ethereal — inviting viewers to reflect on the beauty of migration, fragility, and resilience.
