Description
This painting serves as a powerful allegory for the fragility of life in the face of ecological collapse. The central butterfly acts as a "living sanctuary," its wings containing a vibrant, lush ecosystem of coral-like branches, green foliage, and active schools of fish. This internal world represents the biodiversity we risk losing.
The stark contrast against the background—a parched, cracked earth in shades of burnt orange and red—highlights the devastating impact of global warming. The right wing appears to be dissolving or shedding its life into the arid wasteland, suggesting that as the climate becomes more extreme, the delicate balance of nature begins to unravel and "bleed out." The artwork captures the desperate struggle of nature to survive within an increasingly inhospitable environment, reminding us that life is a singular, interconnected miracle.
