Artistic Catharsis Contest - I'm an insect. (origami)

Hello everyone!
Here is my entry to the Artistic Catharsis mini contest from @juliakponsford !

I made this today, to express how I feel about all the wobble going on Steemit recently. In fact, I feel like an insect, powerless yet part of the wave. Not understanding what's going on yet staying strong and confident.

It took me a little more than an hour to make this. It wasn't that complicated but it was the first time I made an origami that sophisticated, and also I only had 15x15cm paper (recommended for this is 20x20) which made this task more challenging.
I'm very happy with the result! I'm confident I can make some more insects in the future and have a beautiful collection of them on my wall :)

By the way, I made the frame some weeks ago because I had this idea for some time now.

Thanks ♡

And for the simple frame :

Have fun creating!
