"Typhoid" is a work by Damien Hirst that exemplifies his use of biological materials as artistic medium, featuring actual flies preserved within layers of resin on canvas. The piece engages with themes of decay, mortality, and the tension between preservation and deterioration, as the trapped insects become both subject matter and literal components of the artwork's structure. This work is characteristic of Hirst's exploration of life and death through unconventional materials during the 1990s.
