The work was inspired by the world of night butterflies. The artist focusses attention on imperceptible and unapparent beauty. Beauty that may cease to exist. The world is constantly changing, it is being destroyed by humans, and it needs help. Pollution of the Earth and air has a huge impact on nature and in a way on us as well. Symbiotic connection of humans and nature must be acknowledged so that we do not disappear in the dark like butterflies that were an inspiration for the work. We are attracted by the light of new technologies, consumerism, but it is treacherous and has a negative impact on us.
