Butterflies become our messengers of stillness. They represent not only the lightness of the moment but also transformation and the awakening of consciousness. The butterfly can elevate a fleeting moment to eternity.

"Stillness is a state of mind." These words remind us that stillness is not an external place but a state of mind. It exists not only in the remote corners of nature but also in the vibrant streets of the city, if we are willing to recognize it. The butterflies show us that even in the urban hustle and bustle, there is space for stillness if we allow ourselves to find it.

When we consciously engage with the fleeting moment, when we focus on the silence behind the noise, we experience a precious moment that connects us to eternity. This is my contribution to this festival on Urban Silence — an invitation that reminds us that silence can be everywhere if we discover it in our minds.

My instant film photography art illustrates the butterflies and my message.
