This work investigates the nature of pattern and habit, ritualised movements which may seem mundane to those performing them on a regular basis but are made all the more sacred when taken out of context. Acts of routine and repetition are often more explicitly noticed and taken with care in isolation, when exterior distractions are few and far between. Butterflies circling as per their usual route, but accompanied by flowers, tiny daggers, bright colour and busy repetition it creates a state of frenzy and confusion, of looking into a colourful, unnerving abyss. Miniscule wings beating feverently, though they make no sound to the human ear
