Kaliedoscope

Hundreds of fused-glass monarch butterflies cascade in a brilliant murmuration, forming an arch that spans across the playa. This swarm arises from the desert and the installation becomes a glowing beacon of shifting light.

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" honors this lineage of care, illustrating how human continuity depends on mutual reliance and the collective wisdom passed to those who follow.
