Beer Can Butterflies by Paul Villinski

At first glance this is just a gorgeous series of instruments slowly deteriorating into butterflies, until you check out Paul’s website to find out that the butterflies are all made of empty beer cans he finds in the streets of New York: “every one of them once raised to someone’s lips. My process of ‘recycling’ them into images of butterflies is a quiet physical meditation, a yoga of tin snips and files and fingers”.
