Metamorphosis: Butterflies' Beauty and Fragility in 'Flourish/Collapse'
A new photography exhibition, 'Metamorphosis: Flourish/Collapse', explores the delicate balance of nature and the potential for human disruption. Curated by Sylvia Earle, Elizabeth L. Cline, and a team of renowned photographers, the exhibit uses butterflies as powerful symbols. Butterflies, with their life cycle of birth, growth, and transformation, embody the cycle of life and death. Their potential extinction serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of this cycle for all species. The exhibit explores this theme through the lens of 'Flourish/Collapse', interpreted by photographers such as Gareth McConnell. McConnell sees butterflies as metaphors for the intricate and unknowable nature of the Earth and its creatures, including humans. His work, along with that of Ben Toms, Stefanie Moshammer, and others, captures the beauty and vulnerability of these winged organisms. The exhibit also highlights the potential for human disruption of this natural cycle, serving as a dark messenger of the end of life for all species if not addressed. The 'Metamorphosis: Flourish/Collapse' exhibition, featuring works by Sylvia Earle, Elizabeth L. Cline, and a diverse team of photographers, invites viewers to reflect on the delicate balance of nature and the role humans play in its preservation. Through the lens of butterflies, the exhibit offers a powerful reminder of the beauty and fragility of life, and the urgent need for action to protect it.
