The Butterfly effect in france
Commissioned for the historic gardens of Les Mille Fleurs in Provence, France, this iteration of The Butterfly Effect responds to the region’s rich horticultural heritage and centuries-old relationship between cultivated landscape and natural ecology.
The work explores themes of emergence, transformation, and the delicate balance between order and spontaneity found in nature. Positioned within the garden setting, the sculpture creates a conversation between contemporary form and the surrounding landscape, drawing visitors into an experience of reflection and discovery. Inspired by Edward Lorenz’s Butterfly Effect theory, the work serves as a reminder of how small actions can create far-reaching consequences across complex systems.

The BuTTerfly effect commissioned for the entrance to the new american consulate compound in guadalajara, mexico
The Butterfly Effect is a 20-ft-diameter, 5-ton, mirror-polished stainless-steel sculpture commissioned for the entrance to the new American Consulate compound in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The Butterfly Effect draws inspiration from the theories of the mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz, illustrating how the smallest event can influence much larger, more complex systems.
The Monarch butterfly, native to the USA, migrates to Guadalajara annually. The placement of this sculpture symbolizes the movement and interactions between the two countries and intends to cultivate our connection with the natural environment.
