A Bug’s Life explores reality as a self-authored experience through perception. Drawing from surrealist visual language and references to Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, the work positions the self between imagination, projection, and embodiment. Spread legs framing the fire hydrant become a gesture of reclamation, honoring sensuality as a creative power that is safely inhabited and self-defined.

As the illusion collapses and the body returns fully into frame, the work reveals interpretation as an active force that constructs experience from within.
