There is a microscopic secret behind butterflies’ dazzling colors. Their wings are covered in thousands of overlapping scales, neatly arranged like shingles on a roof. This coating of micro-scales reflects and refracts light through the tiny ridges of their three-dimensional texture. This phenomenon is expressed here as a gradient and radiating motif where colours animate and progressively reveal a fine rectangular geometric array, making the carpet Butterfly 1 an abstract celebration of that hidden biological micro-wonder.
