Transform your walls with this muslin moth and fern painting by Aimee Schreiber. Featuring a pearly white muslin moth (diaphora mendica) with a gold leaf halo surrounded by delicate sage-green western maindenhair ferns, this serene painting invites you to contemplate transformation and impermanence. 

Symbolism: Moths remind us to trust our transformational process and seek the light in dark places, opening our eyes to the ephemeral beauty and freedom on the other side of change. Ferns remind us to notice the impermanent, unfixed nature of reality.

I wanted to explore themes of impermanence using moths and ferns, focusing on the movement of sunlight and shadow in the forests surrounding my home. Moths only live a few days as adults and the forest looks different each time I enter it, reminding me that all of life is made up of temporary moments. This poem is based on the titles of the nine paintings in this collection. 

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

Thus passes the world–
unfixed, fleeting, fluttering
in all its glory

Sunlight and shadow–
transient, temporary
rolling through a wood

Drifting, dusty stars–
momentary, mortal
lifespan, just like ours

Moveable mountain–
evanescent, ephemeral
unfettered fountain

Silk twilight, blue morn–
generous guides in orbit,
impermanence born
