Hundreds of fused-glass monarch butterflies cascade in a brilliant murmuration, forming an archway of shifting light. By day, the sun catches the glass and projects colorful shadows. By night, each individually lit butterfly takes part in a prismatic dance.
The piece meditates on inheritance and stewardship, mirroring the monarch's transgenerational migration. They traverse North America, naturally transcending political borders, relying on subsequent generations to complete a journey no single individual can finish. Kaleidoscope, also the name for a swarm of butterflies, honors this lineage of care, illustrating how human continuity depends on mutual reliance and the collective wisdom passed to those who follow.
