These small-scale studies focus on isolated sections of butterfly wings, examining pattern, color, and surface at close range. By removing the full form, the paintings emphasize structure and variation rather than species or symbolism. The cropped compositions invite slow looking, revealing shifts in pigment and mark that reward proximity. Together, the works function as intimate counterpoints to the larger paintings in the exhibition.
