Bug on the Lens

Playful mixed media scene of the Denver skyline interrupted by an unexpected insect, blending humor with acceptance of imperfection.

What began as a carefully composed cityscape evolved into an unplanned collaboration. The Denver skyline rises beneath expressive color splashes and energetic marks, suggesting optimism and creative momentum. Then, unexpectedly, a large insect appears—interrupting the scene like an accidental photobomb.

Rather than correcting the disruption, the moment was embraced. The insect transforms the work into a meditation on expectation versus reality. Life rarely unfolds according to plan, yet humor allows imperfection to become part of the story rather than its failure. The piece celebrates adaptability, reminding viewers that joy often appears when control is released and unpredictability is welcomed.
