Fernley NV artist Jaimie Daniels, assisted by her husband Chris Daniels, fits a wing to her "Flight of the Flutterbye" installation during Build Week. "The span of our lives is like the span of the wings, there is a beginning and an end, one side is filled with the color and light of life, the other is filled with the unknown of what comes next. None of us knows how long we have in this life, so why do we put things off until tomorrow, next week, next year? Flight of the Flutterbye challenges the viewer to consider living life to its fullest, living in the moment before we say goodbye to this life. The vibrant butterfly contrasting against the monochromatic moth is a representation of the duality that exists between life and death, or the color that comes with a rainbow after a storm; these things can’t exist without one another. Live like it’s tomorrow, today."
