Metamorphosis: Elements
The nature of Dominic Harris’s medium allows him to transform wild fantasies into digital realities. In the case of Metamorphosis: Elements, Harris creates butterflies that appear to be made of wood, earth, water, fire and metal, the five elements of the Chinese zodiac. Inspired by the belief that these elements are the matter from which the universe is composed, as has been the view of many cultures in the Far East, Harris compiles these materials in a dynamic arrangement of butterflies to create a unified whole.
'Sometimes it is the smallest of movements that creates the greatest of impacts. I invite the viewer to collaborate in the development of the depicted scenes, and to unveil the true meaning within the artwork.'
