The butterflies featured as motifs in this series are listed as endangered species on the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List.

Butterflies are highly sensitive to environmental changes. I chose this motif because they are not yet completely extinct.

If we are able to change our behavior, they still have a chance to survive.
