An intaglio print focusing around the idea of Chaos theory.

I don’t necessarily believe in the Chaos theory or at least the ‘butterfly effect,’ but I have always been fascinated with the premise. This work attempts to capture that moment, where a small orange butterfly, flaps its insignificant wings, to eventually cause mass destruction to the civilized world in the mid ground. The work is littered with details and even some quotes adorning some of the buildings within the scene.

This portfolio contains two slides. The first slide is simply the visual image, and the second slide contains an additional etching plate with the quote:

“It has been said something as small as the flutter of a butterfly’s wing can ultimately cause a typhoon around the world” – Chaos Theory”
