BUTTERFLY
Acrylics on canvas with augmented reality, 2024, 160cm x 210cm
"Butterfly" captures the fragile beauty of transformation—the painful solitude of the cocoon and the liberating expanse of newly spread wings. It speaks of rejection, of being unseen, of whispered cruelties that weave a prison of isolation. Yet, amidst the pain, a silent metamorphosis takes place—a divine hand shapes something wondrous in secret.
This artwork stands as a testament to hope in the midst of suffering—a reminder that God does not leave His children in the darkness of loneliness. He sees, He knows, and He gently unfolds the wings of the broken, carrying them into the light of His love. Even the most wounded soul will, in His time, rise—transformed, radiant, and free.
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." – Isaiah 43:19
