Being different can feel very lonely, but from our cocoons, we struggle to emerge. Reborn, we take flight on gossamer wings and embrace who we are.
I started Metamorphosis several years ago. I hung onto it but never thought I would finish it. While going through some things recently, I came across it again, and something just clicked; I was ready to see what I could make of it. The face, torso, and wings needed to be reworked and refreshed, and then I added the background and foreground elements. After being dormant for so long, it was great to see my 'butterfly guy' reborn. Plus, it offered me a wonderful chance to revisit the fantasy realm.
