40”x60”

Acrylic & Oil on Canvas

The butterfly's evolution is one of the most tumultuous transformations in nature, liquifying in its cocoon and destroying its previous form. As it emerges, it flaps its wings ferociously to break free and gain strength to survive. This piece embodies the butterfly's qualities, emphasizing living fully and making present decisions for peace and freedom. Symbols include owl butterfly wings for clarity in darkness and shells, used in indigenous Mayan ceremonies to connect with guides and ancestors.
