It represents the evolution of human art through the morphology of the butterfly, a universal symbol of change. Set against a background that mimics the texture and appearance of a prehistoric cave, it evokes the origins of artistic expression.

The image traces a symbolic journey from the most ancestral expression to a more refined and modern aesthetic—a metaphor for transformation, growth, and artistic exploration over time. The lines and colors surrounding the composition evoke movement, energy, and creativity, celebrating art as a living organism in constant metamorphosis and a reflection of our journey.
