Butterflies in the ocean | Neyah Chantel

This piece explores transformation in a more abstract, symbolic way.

The butterfly sits at the center as a representation of change, while the surrounding elements—water, texture, and life—create a world that feels both real and imagined.

There’s a sense of movement throughout the piece, like everything is shifting, evolving, and existing at once. Nothing is completely still, yet nothing feels out of place.

I wanted this to feel like a space beneath the surface—where growth happens quietly, where transformation isn’t always seen, but is always taking place.

It reflects the idea that becoming doesn’t always look clear or linear. Sometimes it feels layered, unfamiliar, and even a little chaotic—but still meaningful.
