Butterflies are a recurring motif in my work. Scientifically, they are considered as bio-indicators of the health of an eco-system. They are highly sensitive creatures and react immediately to even subtle changes in the environment and they are often the first ones to leave if a particular habitat becomes unsustainable.

Metaphorically, they are open to various interpretations, the most significant being a symbol of complete transformation. The butterfly’s metamorphosis is a timeless analogy for personal transformation which is often filled with painful phases. Change is inevitable and often unwelcome but ultimately, it is a worthwhile journey that makes us grow and this kind of growth usually tends to elevate us to a higher realm of consciousness.
