This portrait reflects the weight and tenderness of memory held within the body. With hands gently resting at the temples and butterflies gathered above the crown, the figure appears suspended in a moment of quiet reflection. Gold accents trace the face like emotional residue—marks of love, grief, and transformation that remain long after a moment has passed.
 
Part of the Butterfly Kisses collection, this work speaks to the intimate ways we carry those we’ve lost. It honors the presence of loved ones who continue to guide us, reminding us that transformation is not sudden, but layered—shaped by remembrance, protection, and enduring connection.
