For millions of years, Painted Lady butterflies have migrated between Kenya and Norway in search of blooming wildflowers. Constant Bloom follows them on the longest butterfly migration ever discovered, spanning Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Lucas Foglia’s photographs trace both the path of the butterflies and the people they meet, offering an allegory for our delicate, interconnected, and resilient world.

Lucas Foglia (1983) is a fine art photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, who makes stories about people in nature. With a clear aesthetic, his projects convey narratives that are lyrical, nuanced, and compassionate. He received a BFA from Brown University in 2005 and MFA from Yale University in 2010. His 2024 Guggenheim Fellowship traces the longest butterfly migration, creating a metaphor for human connections across international borders.
