Tamara did a wonderful job depicting the delicate movements of the butterfly wings. The use of bright colors to highlight the “reanimated” specimen as was a particularly nice and effective touch. Well done!
I love how Flight of the Butterfly captures freedom and transformation. It inspired part of my research, and I even had my notes binding PhD books style to keep them organized. Anyone else find art influencing their work like this?
