16-18 Category • 2025My artwork captures a beautifully emotive moment between a chimpanzee and a butterfly. The realism can be seen in the chimp's expressive eyes, softly textured fur and gentle gesture, creating a sense of innocence and curiosity. The hand reaching out to the butterfly gives off the sense of wonder, as if the chimp is encountering beauty in its most basic form. The butterfly's lightness contrasts with the chimp's detail, showing off its freedom and delicateness. In my eyes, the emotional interaction between the two is the true beauty of Nature.
