Butterflies bursting out of a book

While trawling through Pinterest I came across this piece of art which has a lovely back story to it.

Artist David Karcov made this scultpure in memroy of the Rabbi Yossi Raichik who saved many children's lives from the effects of the Chernobyl disaster.  The butterflies represent the 2547 children he helped save.

It is called the 'Book of Life'.
