Contemptress

The artwork depicts the blooming of a woman who is beautiful and well revered. Some might say she has the ability to tempt someone to do something, from her cacoon she exudes allure and charm. But that’s what the world sees her as, the way she sees herself is full of contempt - a thing so worthless or beneath consideration.The title reflects how society’s shallow value judgements can clip the wings of even the most beautiful butterflies.
