About the Item

The butterfly. Road of pain and hope. This piece of art is dedicated to Ukrainian refugees who were forced to leave their homes due to the war in Ukraine. The butterfly is shown as a symbol of death, rebirth and transformation. It means that we suffer a symbolic death within ourselves. We are forced to move on through pain and tragedy like a caterpillar that turns into a butterfly and gets the wings of freedom.
