Sashiko (Butterfly), 2024
Charcoal, washi tape, washi paper on canvas
10" × 10"
A black swallowtail rests, still and heavy, on an Asanoha pattern made with washi tape.
The butterfly carries layered meanings: beauty and femininity, as well as transformation, hope, and quiet rebirth.
The pattern fades. The butterfly has landed. Something is changing.
