FLY, LITTLE BUTTERFLY

It’s impressive how this artist weaves her body painting into a vibrant butterfly form: With a headdress that conceals the head and intricate antennae, she completes the insect symbol. A noteworthy detail: There are no purely pink butterflies in nature – the color spectrum is mostly in blues, purples, or greens, although some species may exhibit a pinkish sheen due to light interference. Often, the Elephant Hawk-moth (Saturniidae) with its gentle pink is mistaken, but it is not a true butterfly species.

Nevertheless, celebrating the diversity of the butterfly world: From the sapphire-blue Blue Morpho (Morpho peleides) with its mirrored wings to the flame-red Io moth (Automeris io) from South America – the animal world offers endless sources of inspiration. This body art combines creativity and poetry, even if it interprets natural science liberally.
