About the artwork
Butterfly is an intimate photograph where delicacy and freedom intertwine. The butterfly, fragile yet luminous, rests on the subject’s hand as if pausing for a fleeting moment of connection between human and nature. The soft light and casual setting emphasize the authenticity of the instant, a hallmark of Chalard’s imagery, which often transforms everyday encounters into moments of wonder.
