Description

On a titanium structure, the wings of this butterfly are crystal and diamonds, while the body is made of emerald, a symbol of eternity.  Humankind, ever since history, has been in search of "the Eternal".  On the other hand, it is also because such a pursuit that we continue to make breakthroughs, and like the "metamorphosis" of the butterflies, we debut into the brave new world, transformed.  "Eternity" and "transformation", appear opposite to each other on the surface, but are in fact the "yin and yang" of growth, partners in development; without the pursuit of "eternity" there would be no breakthroughs, one after another.
