The metaphysical series “Act Three” depicts the Butterfly Woman in the third phase of her life – a moment where inner transformation has led to maturity and self-actualization. The caterpillar and cocoon stages remain only as a conceptual backstory, symbolizing the internal evolution that culminated in her emergence as a butterfly. This is a series that expands across time and space, where each new scene marks a chapter in the artist’s journey of self-discovery. “Act Three, Scene Three” centers on the experience of being seen, explored through the lenses of both courage and fear. The Butterfly Woman stands in the spotlight, her shadow behind her offering support. The black-and-white checkerboard beneath her feet symbolizes the choices she faces, and now she consciously steps onto the white square. It is a moment where vulnerability transforms into strength, and visibility is no longer a threat— but a choice. The vertically divided black-and-white background represents a space-time continuum, where the shadow is as vast as the light that cast it. Balance in this realm is not a static state or accidental harmony, but a continuous, conscious process.
