Affinity Butterfly

Private Collection

Affinity: a feeling of closeness and understanding that someone has for another person because of their similar qualities, ideas, or interests. : a quality that makes people or things suited to each other. It features a gold & black mechanical butterfly hovering over golden flowers. On the base there is an inscription that says “from seeds of kindness friendship grows”. This is an automaton created to celebrate friendship. I always loved how flowers feed butterflies with their nectar and the butterflies pollinate the flowers. And the leaves of the flowers feed the caterpillars.

Created 2021.
