This impressive black-and-white photography emphasises the poetry of contrast. The image shows a young woman caught with downcast eyes in a moment of serene introspection. Her soft facial features and the delicate lines of her cleavage are subtly framed by shadows and light, creating a sculptural effect. What makes this portrait truly special is the butterfly resting on her chest with its wings open. In full colour - orange and black - this fragile creature is a bright accent in an otherwise monochrome world. The choice of selective colour makes the butterfly not only a visual focal point, but also a symbol: of transformation, freedom and transience.
The juxtaposition of the human body and the butterfly arouses a sense of connection between man and nature, vulnerability and strength. As if the insect reflects her inner world: the search for balance, for breathing space, for growth. The lace of her clothes reinforces this image of softness and femininity, without distracting attention from the central symbolism. This work invites contemplation; it is a silent dialogue between skin and wing, stillness and movement, mortality and beauty. An image that lingers because of its simplicity as well as its intensity.
