Artisans combined naturally patterned moth and butterfly wings to create the decorative borders while using Blue Morpho butterfly wings for the shimmering blues throughout the birds and scenic landscapes. The electric flashes of blue are not paint or foil—they are produced by microscopic structures on the Morpho's wings that refract light, creating an iridescence that shifts dramatically as the viewing angle changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1733\" data-start=\"1404\"\u003eThe central image is an idealized Rio de Janeiro landscape with Sugarloaf Mountain, Guanabara Bay, and swaying palms, all framed by two Birds-of-Paradise.
