When we see butterflies and blooming flowers, it always reminds us of Spring and thus in this project “Sender: Butterflies”, we try to turn butterflies into the messengers of Spring, and they are sending out letters to inform us: “Here comes the Spring”.

In this artwork series, 7 pairs of butterflies and plants that are commonly found during springtime in Hong Kong are depicted.

Through our works, we want to showcase the varieties of biodiversity in Hong Kong and the vividness and colourfulness of butterflies and plants. The pairs of butterflies and plants are not only picked by aesthetics factors, but they are also put together because the plants are the host plant or nectariferous plant (source of nectar) of an exact butterfly species.
