Far more than a decorative motif, the butterfly functions as a powerful metaphor for metamorphosis, freedom and the fragile balance between nature and human intervention. Executed during a formative period in the artist’s career, this intimate mixed media work captures the experimental spirit that would come to define Ahmad Shukri’s practice, making it an engaging and collectible example of late-1990s Malaysian contemporary art.
