Making Butterflies captures an ethereal underwater scene featuring a graceful mermaid surrounded by delicate elements of the sea. The mermaid, with flowing auburn hair and adorned in fine jewelry, gently releases a golden butterfly, symbolizing transformation and fleeting beauty. Before her, a whimsical fish with a human-like face gazes in curiosity, adding a surreal and mystical touch. The soft, muted tones of the seaweed, corals, and fungi-like structures evoke a dreamlike underwater forest, blending elements of fantasy and reality in Parkes’ signature style.
