I was inspired to make an ethereal atmosphere of butterflies after watching a show that held a symbolic meaning of the butterfly. I was never into butterflies, but these days I find it to be so beautiful and delicate. And in order to create that feeling I tore paper into the simple shape of a butterfly. An important factor of this sculpture would be the Korean traditional lantern. The butterflies are swarming around this one source of light.  For the lantern I decided to leave two sides open and instead add flowers.
