This portrait explores the quiet space between memory and presence. Butterflies rest gently across the eyes, symbolizing protection, transformation, and the unseen connections that continue beyond loss. Gold accents trace the face like fragments of light—moments of remembrance, love, and continuity.
 
Part of the Butterfly Kisses collection, this piece reflects on the belief that butterflies carry messages from those who have passed, offering reassurance that we are watched over and deeply loved. It invites stillness, reflection, and a recognition of how memory lives within the body.
