The story behind the artwork
Each and every nation comes together on the delicate wings of butterflies, their united energy a forcefield of nature and a celebration of cultural diversity and sporting endeavour. The towering scale of the trees mirrors the challenge of human achievement, while the kaleidoscopic colour and vibrancy of the flora and fauna embody the spirit and excitement of shared global ambition.
A powerful and arresting piece that commands immediate attention through its sense of scale, yet look closely, and witness the painstaking detail and delicate pinning of hundreds of tiny three-dimensional butterflies, each carrying a flag from the countries of the world on its wings. From Saint Lucia to Serbia, Canada to Cambodia, every nation is represented here, symbolising the coming together of countries from around the globe in celebration of cultural diversity, sporting achievement and a shared ambition for peace and unity. Here, the butterfly is a symbol of hope and of strength in fragile beauty - a promise of a journey still to be travelled.
