The Butterfly Effect By Patrick Parker

  • Derived from the theory that a small act in one place can create a much more significant change somewhere else, even though they seem unrelated. The butterfly represents the Void, with the colors again representing the other elements. The rays radiating outward from the butterfly symbolize how such small acts, such as a butterfly beating its wings or someone picking up a piece of trash on the beach, can grow exponentially and influence many other things. I used the Fibonacci sequence in this painting to visually show how that exponential growth can occur. The gold (sun) and silver (moon) Yin and Yang symbol with the aligning of the Chakras, represents the balance needed in nature to create conditions for a caterpillar to transform into a butterfly, thus shedding its past and transcending to its ultimate path in life. The Fruit of Life symbol also visually represents the change from a fruit, with a seed of potential, growing into a beautiful tree.

The Meaning of The Sacred Series: When I was given the challenge by Jay Celat to create a series based on sacred geometry, the five elements, the seasons, the chakras, and the sun and moon, I happily accepted. In my professional art career spanning over six years, I had never focused so deeply on creating a series with so much meaning. The process took over three months to create the seven part series, with many hurdles to jump and problems to solve.

I began by researching sacred geometry, and discovered many fascinating things about the world, the universe, and myself. The saying "The more you learn the less you know" became very real to me as my mind was opened to this new way of thinking, connecting, realization, and philosophy. I started to see sacred geometry and patterns in my everyday life that went unnoticed before, which made me even more interested in the subject. Applying the things I have learned studying sacred geometry in my art was challenging but deeply rewarding as each piece began to develop. And as I started incorporating the five elements, the seasons, the shakras, and the sun and moon, it became an even more gratifying journey.

Starting with the 10" x 10" pieces, I laid the foundation down, introducing the viewer with simple patterns to my inspirations. As the pieces become larger and more complex, they begin to incorporate the elements with more energy, color, and flow. And as this happens, they become more thought provoking and interesting to look at. Throughout the series you will see reoccurring shapes and colors, this symbolizes the connection that everything in the universe has.

I hope you enjoy the experience viewing this series and hope it will spark an interest in your mind to explore more deeply into this ancient knowledge.

Mahalo,
Patrick
