Fictitious Claudio Hunter is a composite of real people who objectify Chinese women. His "Small Elegant Butterfly Specimen Box" is part a developing mixed media series called "Chinese Girlfriend Collection."
"Small Elegant Butterfly" (雅蠛蝶, Yǎ Miè Dié in Chinese) is one of the Baidu 10 Mythical Creatures that originated in response to the online censorship in China. Ya Mie Die originates from the Japanese yamete (止めて), meaning "stop" in reference to stereotypes and rape.
