From cocoon to butterfly, transformation is nothing short of extraordinary. During metamorphosis, the caterpillar dissolves into a soup-like state, breaking down completely before rebuilding into something new. My journey as an artist mirrors this process—growth often required me to shed old parts of myself to make room for transformation.

I began with a simple hunger to learn and explore, facing challenges that felt like dissolving into uncertainty. Yet, like the stillness of the cocoon, these moments reshaped me the most. Emerging, I found new strength, perspective, and purpose. My wings, though imperfect, carried the marks of the journey and the freedom to rise.

This theme is at the heart of my senior project—an immersive exhibition exploring the butterfly life cycle through media techniques such as animation, projection, storytelling, and installation art. Through this work, I capture the fragility and resilience of growth, the struggle and beauty of becoming. It’s not just about the final form but the journey itself—the doubts, the breakthroughs, and the quiet hope that guides us forward. Like the butterfly, we all have the power to emerge, stronger and more beautiful, from the trials that shape us.
