For my final project I chose to research butterflies, their life cycle ( how they are born as caterpillars then undergo metamorphosis), and their symbolism in the widely known theory, The Butterfly Effect. The theory states that even the smallest changes somewhere can prompt significant changes elsewhere. For my project I tried to represent this idea visually by having a butterfly emerge from its cocoon, fly over Earth, surpass the Solar System and the Milky Way galaxy. The butterfly itself is a metaphor for change and transformation, and once it has emerged from its cocoon it just flies as far as it can, similar to how many changes that occur on Earth can have impact on the larger Universe as a whole.
