Abstract painting: I Fly On

We all reach a point when it is time to say goodbye.
Not with a broken heart. Not with bitterness. But with lightness.

This painting speaks of finding inner calm.
The butterfly that emerged from the darkness is not leaving – it is growing.
This is not an escape. It is a continuation, with a deeper breath and an awareness of its own strength.

The black background is not sadness – it is the depth that had to be passed through to understand one’s own worth.
The white butterfly is purity. New energy.
The golden elements represent memories – those that remain, but no longer weigh us down.

I Fly On.
Not because I must.
But because, at last, the time has come.
With lightness. In peace. With the sense that this decision belongs solely to the one who flies.
