The butterfly

On January 20th, the first day of the 100 Day Project, I discovered a butterfly in our apartment. What a good sign, for me, but not as inspiring for the butterfly(?) I thought of how butterfly images remind people of transformation during Dia de Los Muertos celebration in November. I thought of the lack of flowers to pollinate outside, but how the warm indoors offered this butterfly to exit it’s safe chrysalis. Some honey and water was offered, and I did see the butterfly drink from a droplet of water off of my finger the first day! A few days later, it was gone.

The photo with two profiles of my self, one being in papier mache, were taken in February. The paintings on the wall are from two best friends who live far away…..

Arter Intro, Intro to Arter

I have proposed to shoot self portraits with cameras. I will often be holding a sign that reads:
“look at me, I’m an artist”. This is a personal experiment in identity as an artist or creative person.
Being new to the U.P., I will want to include outdoor surroundings, as I am inspired by this new
environment!

My rules (if I remember them correctly) are to spend at least 17mins a day on the project.
So far, I have discovered new angles on the idea, as I see other arters do as well.
