"Papillons de jour", the final painting in the "Berceau du Monde" project, evokes the sad reality of the disappearance of butterflies in France. Placed after a series of paintings highlighting the impact of colonization in the global south, this work draws on the butterfly effect to illustrate the correlation between the consequences of the degradation of nature in the global south and their repercussions on the global north. It thus calls for close worldwide collaboration to protect the planet.
Through this symbolic painting, the artist highlights the profound interconnection between our planet's different ecosystems. The disappearance of butterflies in France reflects a global environmental crisis that calls for concerted action and collective efforts to preserve biodiversity and protect nature on an international scale. "Papillons de jour" reminds us of the crucial importance of global awareness and a shared commitment to protecting our common cradle, the Earth.
