Clockwork butterflies on fiber-optic flower

Surreal digital art of clockwork creatures in a vertical 2:3 format. Two mechanical butterflies with ornate brass bodies and stained-glass wings are perched on a glowing fiber-optic flower. Their wings are spread wide, showing intricate gear-work and glowing heart motifs. The background is a dark, dreamlike garden of light-emitting plants and wires. The lighting is vibrant and high-contrast, with the butterflies as the radiant focal point in the center. The vertical composition captures the upward growth of the digital flora. The aesthetic is fantastical, strange, and beautiful, offering a unique mechanical interpretation of love.
