Artist Statement: Inspired by the idea that small actions can have meaningful impact, The True Butterfly Effect transforms individual acts of creation into a collective expression of possibility. Composed of community-created butterflies, it explores the significance that can emerge through shared participation.

Artist Bio: Alex Nason is a Seattle-based artist and arts administrator working across murals, sculpture, and community-centered public art. Her practice is driven by a belief in the transformative potential of creativity—not only as a form of visual expression, but as a way of connecting with ourselves, one another, and the world around us.
