Flutter is a set of larger than life butterfly wings mounted on a box. Inside the box is a comfortable bench to rest and take refuge from the sun or wind. The design on the butterfly wings is made of recycled retro-reflective material, the same material that is used to make traffic and street signs. The piece is best viewed at night when the reflective design becomes the most apparent. Flutter is made to portray the fluttery "butterflies in the stomach" feeling that someone might feel when preparing for Burning Man. The mural of chaos covering the inside walls of the box creates a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere that captures the feeling of butterflies in the stomach.
