Title:
White Butterflies

Author:

Description:
I proposed the city agencies situate art in the public domain which was simply denied. Then, I designed a butterfly cut-out and spread thousands of paper cut butterflies as my personal response and to push the boundaries of what art is. I covered over 1200 trees with paper butterflies that were § the road expansion and shared those images via social media which grew into a peaceful protest. As this project began to spread globally, this evolution around my work woken me up to my new roles and priorities and as an artist to address socio-political and environmental matter more directly in my art
