A ghost polyphemus moth: a pale, physical moth form that acts as a projection-mapping canvas. By day it reads as a quiet cream/bone-white moth specimen; by night projection supplies the living color, eyes, movement, and mood.
The frame survives; the skin performs; projection gives it its soul.
This is not a painted moth. It is the ghost/substrate of a polyphemus moth: visible enough to have presence in daylight, restrained enough that projected imagery can complete it at night.
