Grenade Sculpture
WW2 Pineapple grenade embellished in real American dollar bills, meticulously cut covering the surface of the grenade, Bran then places a real delicate green Ulysses butterfly on top.
This echoes inequality and contrast between an extremely dangerous man-made weapon and a natural organism. Explosively Delicate is a beautiful piece which can be placed anywhere to remind us that nature always wins through world conflicts and upheaval and that humans should forever have hope in their hearts that love conquers all.
