The design for this piece is taken from Hirst's 'Kaleidoscope', Valley of Death (2010), in which butterfly wings in brown, black, dark blue and green tones make up intricate geometric patterns in household gloss paint. The butterfly is one of Hirst's most recognisable motifs, which he describes as a 'universal trigger'. Used by the Greeks to depict Psyche – the soul – and in Christian imagery to signify the resurrection, the butterfly appears in his work as a symbol of the beauty and fragility of life.
