In Butterflies, Lingua captures the delicate intersection of transformation, identity, and nature. The portrait of a woman emerges through a kaleidoscope of butterflies—Monarchs, Blues, and other winged fragments—each one meticulously rendered in gel ink. Her gaze is calm yet fierce, embodying the quiet power of rebirth. As if shedding skin, the butterflies form her body and dissolve into the space around her, symbolizing emergence, flight, and the transcendence of form.
What begins as a simple portrait blooms into a visual metaphor for resilience and growth. With UV-reactive ink, the piece takes on a new life under blacklight, glowing as if the butterflies are mid-flight in moonlight.
