A Butterfly of Life interactive educational or therapeutic art kit, housed in a bespoke off-white heavy canvas carrying bag. The bag features dark brown zipper tape, silver-toned metal pulls, and is screen-printed in red, teal, and pink with stylized portraits and the text BUTTERFLY OF LIFE in a red serif-block typeface. The kit contains two large rectangular art boards, each featuring hand-painted or screen-printed abstract biological forms resembling butterfly wings or anatomical diagrams, one in a purple and red palette and the other in blue and pink. These boards are fitted with a series of small, round, inset magnets. Accompanying the boards is an assortment of laser-cut wooden pieces, constructed from an MDF-style wood composite and backed with magnets. The pieces depict various human figures at different stages of development, including a fetus, children, and elderly portraits, alongside animals such as a lion and domestic cat, and symbolic objects including a campfire and a feeding bottle. One wooden piece shaped as a bottle is engraved with the word PLASTIC in all-capital sans-serif letters.
