This piece features a zoologist who has been out collecting specimens. His collection jar holds a hapless beetle that
he has collected and -- despite its efforts -- cannot escape.
All is not well for our zoologist, however. As it turns out, there is a greater force in the universe.
He now knows the horror of being on the other side of the collection jar. His attempts to break free and his soundless
cries for help truly make him an interesting specimen.
Now in a private collection

Basswood, birch, ebony, cherry, brass, glass
Backdrop landscape featuring 3-D elements
