Abu Dhabi doesn’t have butterflies.
If you want to spot one, you have to drive two hours to Dubai Butterfly Garden, and spend 50 AED for the entrance fee. Trapped in forests of cement, people are increasingly disconnected with nature. In the rare moments when people try to get close to nature, they are often left out by its little residents, as they are hurt by human development. Through creative technology, we invite people to our childhood where butterlies were everywhere around us.
