Sterling silver and opalite

Calvin Lac is a local sculptor based in Honolulu. His area of focus is metalsmithing.

Featured in this piece is a diving beetle native to Hawaii. Prior to participating in this exhibition, I was unaware of the existence of Hawaii's native diving beetle. The remarkable diversity of the natural world is both awe-inspiring and deeply captivating. I hope this artwork and exhibition cultivate a deepening curiosity for the intersection of art and science, celebrating the intrinsically beautiful visual harmony that exists between creative expression and scientific inquiry.
