Concept
"From pain grew courage, and with it came the gift of flight.
As I gaze into the light within, I realize—
I am love."
The little girl quietly meets the gaze of a butterfly; this is a moment of self-awakening.
The butterfly symbolizes transformation and rebirth; in looking at it, she is also looking into her own soul and identity.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to see and to grow even within fear.
Her eyes close, yet she does not retreat.
The butterfly is both a teacher and a mirror, reflecting the inner strength within:
true courage is not in the pursuit of outward applause, but in choosing, after solitude and pain, to still believe—
“I am love.”
