Acrylic Butterfly Sculpture

Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life. Many cultures associate the butterfly with our souls. Around the world, people view the butterfly as representing endurance, change, hope, and life. The butterfly makes important appearances on the stage of human beliefs and understanding. Interestingly, in many cultures, the butterfly is associated with the soul, further linking our meaning of faith with the butterfly. Butterflies are often used in inspiration gardens, healing gardens and make for a great addition to designed landscaping.
