Bullet with Butterfly Wings by Nando Machado

Bullet with Butterfly Wings

I managed to put together a home made lightbox, and this is the first proper result I’ve had with it (it’s a composition, of course).

    Thank you for the comments, guys. Luckily, my dad has a box with souvenirs from his army days (it’s compulsory in Brazil, not that he’s ever been in any conflict).

    Thanx Helen.
    Christina, you’re right. “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” is the name of a Smashing Pumpkins song (great song, by the way). :)

    this is one powerful image – would make a fantastic billboard for a human rights group – if I was you I would contact Amnesty Int and see if they are interested,

    Saw this in the buyer’s booth.. compelled to seek out the original. It is an amazing composition. The simple sybolisim of the piece shows such a depth of the world we live in. Well done

    Thanx betha. I suppose it’s an everpresent reality, even when one doesn’t live in a conflict area.
