Within a scaffold-like glass grid, a screen plays the slow unfolding of a flower in bloom. It is not a trap disguised as bait, but a structure that lays bare its own allure and peril—beautiful, lethal, and unashamedly real—into which one falls again and again.
Its heightened transparency allows the viewer to see both inside and out. Upon closer inspection, the circuit boards powering the screens are likewise exposed within the glass frame. The invention of the circuit board compressed hundreds of tangled wires into a single, thin, planar substrate—efficient, portable, and radically functional.

This work resembles the display cabinet of a butterfly collector—yet what it showcases are not real specimens, but printed images of butterflies found on various national currencies. At the same time, it evokes the form of an architectural model—perhaps pointing toward a structure yet to be built, or serving as a miniature memorial to one that has already vanished.
