For more than a decade, Xavi Bou, an visual artist from Barcelona, has spent his time revealing hidden beauty in natural movements. His initial project focused on birds; But now, it has focused on the amazing world of insects.
Xavi Bo, in collaboration with Adrian Smith, an American unnecessary, created a stunning collection of images that represents the movement of butterflies and irregular jumps of the tree and tree grasshopper. These images, by combining several frames in one frame, visually depict the path these creatures take.
However, the project is beyond aesthetics; Xavi Bo points to the vital role of insects in ecosystems; While their population is declining. Estimates show that the biodegradation of bird insect species has declined to 5 % over the past 5 years; An issue that is a serious warning of the natural balance of land.
“Xavi Bo” believes that we must change our attitude towards these creatures; She says:
We have to change our look at the insects and not only disturb them. They are amazing and vital creatures, and we owe them more than we imagine.
