Artwork description:

I created the image of a wide variety of BUTTERFLIES emerging from their cocoons … to reflect how we are all emerging from the covid 19 lockdown in a very positive way. I wanted to create a vibrant canvas full of moving and flying butterflies in the urban wilderness. It is an image of emergence and hope … and summer.
