Becoming captures the tension between the pain of the present and the hope of what lies ahead. A tear rests on the woman’s face, representing the weight of the moment she is living through. Above her, colour breaks through the monochromatic world, carrying images of joy, possibility, and a future she can still imagine. The butterflies become a visual language of transformation, reminding us that becoming is not always beautiful while we are going through it. Sometimes, becoming begins while we are still hurting.
The Story Behind the Artwork
Becoming is about the space between who we are now and who we are becoming. The woman carries the sadness of the present, represented through the tear on her face, while the colour surrounding her thoughts represents the future she hopes for. It is a reminder that even when the present feels heavy, we can still imagine something beautiful ahead. The butterfly represents transformation, resilience, and hope. It reminds me that becoming is a process. We may not have arrived where we want to be yet, but that does not mean we are not moving toward it. This piece is ultimately about holding onto hope while becoming.
