The Third Wing of Butterfly

The Third Wing of Butterfly is a collaborative project developed through an ongoing exchange of ideas, materials, and artistic practices. Bringing together sculpture, ceramics, painting, moving images, sound, music, and light, the exhibition explores the uncertain space between the familiar and the unknown, where transformation does not necessarily follow a linear path, and movement does not always mean progress.

At the centre of the project is a tension between where we come from and what we might become. The “third wing” holds this tension, suspending the impulse toward change and opening a space for hesitation, resistance, and possibility.

Throughout the development of the exhibition, the different works have influenced and shaped one another, forming new relationships through their arrangement in space. The exhibition itself becomes a spatial choreography, shaping how visitors move through the works and how their attention shifts between sculpture, moving images, sound, and light.

The project grew out of the artists’ previous collaboration, La Vie de l’utérus, which explored the womb as a space where the boundaries between life and death become uncertain. The Third Wing of Butterfly extends this inquiry, turning toward the tensions and possibilities that emerge between different states of being.
