“Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can. - Unknown

From the series titled, ‘Inevitable Change’

There are moments when individuals may appear to conceal their true selves, as if wearing a mask or fading into the background. However, unbeknownst to others, this camouflage merely signifies their imminent transformation into the finest version of themselves. This metamorphosis is not about surpassing the confines of a mere 150 words, but rather about transcending personal limitations and embracing growth.

This piece is named after the Monarch Butterfly. These beauties are considered the king of butterflies and the most beautiful of all butterflies in the world, symbolizing transformation, renewal, and hope.
