Inferno is a lenticular print produced in 2016, this digital print on PETG plastic depicts a delicate arrangement of insects in a square shape with a black border. The print is extremely colourful as the various insects are all different shapes, sizes and colours. The insects in the print seem beautiful, despite the many negative associations these tiny creatures carry. Hirst in fact, thought insects were extremely beautiful, arguing that they retained an iridescent beauty, even in death.
