This black and grey sleeve is an evolving botanical composition that weaves together florals, a moth, and a serpent into one fluid, organic narrative. Designed to move naturally with the arm, the elements wrap and flow in harmony with the body’s anatomy, creating a balanced and immersive piece.

Softly layered flowers form the foundation of the sleeve, rendered with delicate gradients and refined shading to achieve depth without heaviness. Emerging from the petals, a moth rests with quiet symbolism — representing transformation and intuition — while a snake winds gracefully through the composition, embodying rebirth, protection, and primal energy. The interplay between these elements creates tension and elegance simultaneously.

Currently in progress, this sleeve is being built in stages to ensure smooth tonal transitions, intentional contrast, and intricate detailing throughout. Even in its unfinished state, the piece carries a strong visual presence — and as the layers continue to develop, it will become a fully realized black and grey statement rooted in nature, symbolism, and refined craftsmanship.
