Nature and evolution equipped butterflies with remarkable visual and physical adaptations to evade predators and look gorgeous at the same time. Eyespots, also called ocelli, feature on the wings of many species and are probably the most famous and fascinating of butterflies’ trademarks. Inspired by this evolutionary feature, the carpet Butterfly 2 makes color and shape radiate and subtly evolve in value and scale, through an overlay of tiny rectangular cells, reminiscent of the scales covering their surface. An invitation to take a short walk upon a butterfly’s wing.
