Through photographs and an essay, To photograph a butterfly discusses how seeing is influenced by the different types of knowledge one has acquired.
Starting from a brief encounter with a butterfly, the work acts as an attempt to not take things for granted—to question what it is to see something, to be attentive, and to draw connections.
