Butterflies and men make their escapes. What are flowers doing in Inferno? Closer inspection shows them to be created entirely from skulls. That is the irony of Inferno. The scale of images plays with a viewer’s eye. Tiny butterflies grow to the size of a building, which disappears to infinity. All these men trying to escape the suffering, the pendulum is static, flower made of skulls - what a paradox?
