Blue carries contradiction within: clear skies and open air, but also crashing, destructive waves. In this piece, that reflection embodies part of the butterfly itself. Inspired by a real-life subject, it explores fragility not as absence, but as the past becomes history. Its wings are worn, battered by unseen wars, weather, and flight—but yet it still moves. Broken wings do fly. Not despite their marks, but with them. Perhaps even more daring because of them. This is a study in resilience: a small creature carrying the weight of distance traveled, yet still arriving, still existing, still becoming. A symbol of transformation and quiet endurance, even when the journey has not been gentle.
