The insect can be a symbol of greed, sensual pleasure, precision and many more associations  depending upon the culture context. My focus on insects is two fold. Firstly, the symbolic nature of each bug has me fascianted and ready to explore.  And , secondly, insects create a challenge in depicting their phycial characteristics in an abstract way and still have the viewer "read" the juxtaposed images as a leg or an antenae.  Through the process of using old wallpapers, ripping  up the paper and then reconfiguring it, I feel a new meaning develops from the process. Where using something old to create something new and thus giving the image and or object new meaning and new associations.
