Painting title:  "Hồn Bướm Mơ Tiên và Núi Mắt Thần Hoàng hôn" 

(Núi Mắt Thần #7 - Butterfly soul dreaming of becoming a fairy in the twilight of Núi Mắt Thần)

Sources of inspiration: three different scenes & concepts:

1) The Vietnamese novel about a butterfly dreaming/wishing of becoming a fairy
2) The UNESCO geopark Núi Mắt Thần
3) The world's largest cave Hang Sơn Đoòng

NOTE: The shooting star in the painting represents the butterfly that has got its wish!
Two kinds of clouds blend night(silver cloud) and day(blue cloud) representing duality in flux. Is it day or is it night? It's twilight.

Note on viewing: With medium brightness,
the white dots at squares' corners will create halluciantion
of seeing black dots appearing and disspearing on white.
This is caused by lateral inhibition.
It is a neurobiological process by which sensory cells,
when stimulated, suppress the activity of the cells around them.
