Elements 02

This is a work in which the silhouette of a butterfly emerges three-dimensionally in the center while folding and pasting line by line after cutting paper with words printed on it with holographic foil in the shape of a strip.

・The meaning of THOUGHTS∈ WORDS∈ ACTIONS ∈HABITS∈ CHARACTER∈ DESTINY

It means a message that thought is the source of words, words are the source of action, action is the source of habit, habit is the source of personality, and personality formed in this way is the source of fate.

The fact that even small thoughts and words have so much energy that they can change fate is expressed by likening it to a phenomenon called the butterfly effect.

The mathematical symbol “∈” is read as an element, and it means that it is an element or source.

・What is the butterfly effect

It is derived from American meteorologist Edward Lorenz's 1972 lecture on the concept “Will the flapping of a butterfly in Brazil cause a tornado in Texas?” The butterfly effect is a phenomenon where “a very small event eventually leads to a major event that was never anticipated.”
