♥ some people are refusing to settle for anything less than butterflies.

{source.}

there is no greater symbol of change, metamorphosis

& beautiful, boundless transformation

than the butterfly– which is precisely why

artist, paul villinski

has chosen to carve and create

flocks and flocks of winged creatures

out of the most superfluous and overly abundant

material available: crushed and crumpled aluminum cans

found scattered along the streets of new york.

taking the tenuous and harrowing lifespan of the butterfly

as a metaphor for modern human frailty

and triumph against great odds, paul has

endowed his work with brains as well as beauty.

his sculptures capture butterflies in mid flight,

beating their wings in magnificent unison

like a delicate dance along walls, ladders, beds and doorways.

i sort of wish they could leap off their wires and into my hair,

a la marie antoinette:

to get a modern version of this look,

try these fabulous butterfly offerings from whichgoose.
