Butterflies

BUTTERFLIES

“Paper is not only Paper” is a concept name that perfectly indicates the deeper and more elaborate meaning of paper. After exploring various properties, techniques, and applications of paper, I came to the realisation that paper is so much more than just paper. To me, paper represents an intersection with countless concepts. These intersections make me see the more elaborate role of paper.

Evgenija Panevska folds the wings away from the page as this creates the illusion of butterflies as if they are simply standing on the piece of paper. This illusion is further supported with the empty spaces with the shape of wings beneath them, further creating a feeling of lightness and floating. Such feelings are often associated with both paper and butterflies since both of them are related with being lightweight. A look from the sides reveals an even stronger version of this lightness and calmness.
