Artist Statement: The Metamorphosis of Hope
The Principle of Continuity This work exists at the intersection of Lavoisier’s science and Christ’s promise. If in the natural world "nothing is lost, everything is transformed," then in the journey of the spirit, "one must be born again." This butterfly serves as the visual anchor for these two truths: it is the evidence that life does not know an end, only a transfiguration.
Fluidity and Color The colors here refuse to be contained by rigid borders; they flow as pure vital energy. The electric blues, pulsing reds, and deep shadows represent the necessary chaos of the chrysalis. The fluidity of the image suggests that life is a liquid process—a constant "leaking" from one form into another. There is no stasis, only the eternal rhythm of becoming.
The Geometry of Hope The butterfly is, by definition, the symbol of patience becoming flight. Its wings in this piece are wide and expansive, occupying the space with a "singularity" that defies gravity. It reminds us that the struggle of the caterpillar is not a final point, but a rehearsal for beauty.
The Destination of Flight This work invites the viewer to recognize their own latent metamorphosis. If we are indeed "angels with only one wing," the sight of this butterfly awakens the desire to find the other so that the flight may be complete. It is a visible reminder that eternity is not something that begins after death, but a reality already pulsing in every change of color, every transformation, and every new breath.
