A tunnel—an arched enclosure of darkness. Beneath the filtered light, a woman in a black dress dances like a black swallowtail butterfly spreading its wings in search of light. The theme is "the self in the shadows" and "the longing for light." Her presence emerges vividly in the dark. Her figure, flickering between shadow and light, pierces the viewer’s psyche, shimmering with a bewitching glow. What do you see in this light? May the black swallowtail’s wings gently awaken the hidden emotions within you.
