The description provided by the artist:
"Destroyed houses serve as a metaphor for catastrophe and decline. Combined with a child's drawing of a one-day butterfly, it can signify hope and the potential for renewal in the darkest moments of human history. The childlike innocence and tenderness represented by the butterfly can become a symbol of humanity's ability to find beauty and hope even in the most challenging circumstances."
Acrylic paint, (OSB) Oriented Strand Board.
