"The Transparency of Being"
This piece explores the delicate strength found in vulnerability and true self-reflection. The subject is anchored in a moment of stillness, holding a tree nymph butterfly, a powerful symbol of metamorphosis and emerging essence.
The use of transparent organza reveals a ‘negative space’ veil, suggesting that one's real nature is often the clearest part of the self. This transparency offers a glimpse into the hidden layers, where gilded butterflies are found—a secret beauty that underscores the constant, luminous state of human transformation.
Oil on stretched organza set in a hardwood float frame.
