Butterfly

2024

I really love the shape of the butterfly wings. It has this beautiful curve and delicate texture. It dance gracefully between fragility and strength. Translating this magic onto skin has always been my dream

Portrait among broad banana leaves, red butterfly wings applied beneath the eye

Two cases of preserved red butterfly wings on a glass table — Specimen

Pencil and red-pen sketches planning where the wings sit on the face — Planning

Eyes closed, wings layered across the cheekbone, red hair against palm fronds

Face half hidden behind foliage, one wing beneath the eye

Looking back over the shoulder, a dark wing on the shoulder blade

Seen through hanging palm fronds, wings bright against the skin

Leaning toward a deep red plant, a wing on the upper arm

Turned away among tree ferns, wings visible at the temple
