The soul is here to transform is a painting about change. Referencing the symbol of the butterfly on either side, images of feminist narratives and resistance movements (Woman, Life Freedom in Iran and female-led resistance movements in Palestine, and historical images) - this painting is a prompt to fight against the comfort of acceptance in the same place, calling us to remember that our soul is here to transform into something greater and better.
