Mind Traps
Amongst the tall, yellow grasses, there were purple and white butterflies opening and closing their wings.
Sometimes the wing is in repose; sometimes the wing is spread.
The sharpness of the grasses, as opposed to the geometry of the flickering rhythms of the butterflies, reminded me of signals; signals that were similar to the activity of communication between people.
I have used purple against the yellow to give vibration, adding to the visual rhythms.
The eyes in the wing look in different directions, and add to the rhythm.
