\"Yumi<\/p>\n

From vibrant thread and wire, Yumi Okita<\/a> conjures thrillingly lifelike moths, butterflies, and flowers. The Raleigh-based artist (previously<\/a>) meticulously embroiders insects\u2019 colorful wings with an eye for realism, so until you\u2019re up close, they appear as though they could flutter away at any moment. And in her more recent series of otherworldly botanicals, petals, leaves, and roots curl to look as though they were just plucked from their habitats.<\/p>\n

Okita often adds original sculptures to her Etsy<\/a> shop, and you can also follow updates on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
