Mantis is a study in balance and contrast. On one side, a smooth piece of gencut stone forms a clean, sculpted line — cool, precise, and reminiscent of a mantis’s polished forearm. On the other, a strand of turquoise and green beads creates a softer, shifting texture, echoing the iridescent colours found in living wings.
The two halves meet in a poised, forked shape at the centre, creating a silhouette that feels alert and intentional. The asymmetry isn’t chaotic — it’s purposeful, like the stillness before movement. The stone brings weight and clarity; the beads bring colour and motion.
