There's lots of details in the sculpture to study; the body made of flowers, the butterflies as hair and perhaps "energy" at her fingertips. The fact she is on her toes gives a sense of being lifted up... I wonder if the red flowers were meant to make it look like she had tights or leggings/pants on. Creative sculpturing.

With more study I see that actually the upper body is composed of butterflies as well. That speaks of a transformation into something more free!

thankyou all. glad to share it with you
@lyndemc yes Denise, there is so much to ponder in this sculpture. The artist created it in memory of his friend who fought a brave battle with cancer.
