Description
“Spectacular photography, computer animation and magnetic resonance imaging open once hidden doors to every stage of a butterfly’s life cycle – from an egg the size of a pinhead to a magnificent flying insect. It is a transformation so incredible biologists have called it ‘butterfly magic.’
“The butterfly’s superbly engineered body is magnified hundreds of times to reveal compound eyes made of thousands of individual lenses, wings covered with microscopic solar panels, and navigation systems that unerringly guide Monarch butterflies on their annual migrations from Canada to Mexico.
“How did these extraordinary creatures come into being? Are they the produces of a blind, undirected process? Or were they designed for a purpose by an intelligence?
“Filmed in the lush rainforests of Ecuador, Mexico’s Transvolcanic Mountains, and leading research centers Metamorphosis is an unforgettable documentary filled with the joys of discovery and wonder.” [From the cover]

Andrea –
David, this is beautiful. I’ve been manikg origami butterflies all year as a meditation and prayer, trusting the spirit is transforming, healing, renewing me. I began this after losing my voice last December. It was devestating and terrifying. All of 2012 so far has been about actively engaging the transformation process, seeking growth, doing hard work with a counselor concerning the pain of my past. It’s been intense, tough and incredible. Anyway, thanks for your artwork. Peace and bests.
