Everyone needs a moment.
Bathroom Break Bugs is a handcrafted curiosity series placing real preserved beetles into meticulously styled miniature bathroom scenes—perched on toilets mid-break, just like the rest of us. Some beetles read tiny newspapers, others relax with miniature iPads, creating a surreal and humorous snapshot of modern life.
Each scene is housed in a shadow box frame, with multiple frame colour options available, including black, white, and brown. Bathrooms are fully styled with varied wallpaper designs, colour schemes, and decorative details, making every piece feel like a tiny, lived-in room.
The contrast between the preserved insect and the deeply human setting creates a piece that is funny, unsettling, and strangely relatable—perfect for collectors of oddities who appreciate wit alongside craftsmanship.
Each artwork is individually assembled by hand, ensuring no two bathroom breaks are ever the same.
