Description
This monochrome illustration by London-based illustrator Alex William depicts a sculptural, cylindrical hand form surrounded by numerous white paper butterflies with dark borders. The composition is presented in greyscale, creating a stark contrast against a dark background. The butterflies appear to flutter around and rest upon the fingers and palm of the central hand sculpture, giving the piece a surreal, layered quality. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the smooth contours of the hand and the delicate, dimensional edges of the paper cut-outs.
