Plate 3, from The Souls on Jacobs Ladder Take Their Flight
A vibrant and meticulously arranged composition of colorful butterfly wings, symmetrically positioned against a pristine white background, reflecting Hirst's enduring fascination with beauty, life, and mortality. Part of the celebrated *The Souls on Jacobs Ladder Take Their Flight* series published by Paragon Press, London, this work transforms natural specimens into a kaleidoscopic, almost stained-glass-like pattern. This rare limited edition print, numbered 38/72 and signed by the artist, exemplifies Hirst's ability to elevate the organic into the realm of the transcendent and spiritual.
