The story
Three magnolia leaves become a butterfly: two form the wings and one becomes the body. The natural form is not hidden beneath the paint; it remains visible at the edges, making the transformation both convincing and impossible.
Clarior carries the idea of becoming clearer or brighter, a small word with room for more than one reading.
