An Ember Unfolded

MG-0991

January 2021

About this piece

An orange butterfly holds its wings open among small red flowers, its black borders and pale yellow markings sharply defined against green foliage. Bright light reveals the fine wing veins, while the diagonal spread of the wings lends quiet movement to the softly blurred setting.

The story

On this January day, the frame holds a vivid world of orange, scarlet, and green. The butterfly rests with wings spread, their dark edges enclosing delicate fields of colour. Slender antennae reach above the flowers, and light traces the veins across each wing. For a moment, the smallest details command the whole scene.
