Makech Unleashed , 2021
10 x 10.5 in (h x w)

Makech, a Yucatan ironclad beetle, are caught and bedazzled with jewels, a leash and made into living art brooches. The wearer pins the adorned creature to their lapel and guests watch the jeweled creature crawl around the jacket but not too far since they are leashed to the brooch. This cruel practice still exists today. I broke the chain and unleashed my Makech!
