Inspired by the blue bubble meditation, this painting began with the image of a luminous cocoon, a protective field of calm energy. As someone who is deeply empathic, this visualization has helped me to stay centered by creating a gentle energetic boundary. From that cocoon, the butterfly emerged. To me, It became a symbol of resilience. Just as a butterfly transforms within its cocoon, resilience often grows in the spaces where we create safety, stillness and protection for ourselves. My hope is that this piece gently reminds you of your strength and ability to transform.
