The butterfly is a common symbol of hope which inspired this piece and can help inspire change to those who need it. Holding the moon and stars in its wings, this divine creature can be a beacon of light to guide you when all seems dark with the bridge, like in tarot cards, providing a perfect path for progression and stability. Personally, when I felt trapped by a bad situation that I was convinced could last forever, a dear friend of mine would take me on night walks along the river Tyne. The moon reflecting off the water creating a gentle calm, and knowing I was never really alone, would fill me with hope that change is possible and everything would be alright in the end.

Although clearly recognisable as a symbol of power, defiance, strength and unity, it's not intended to represent any one particular group of activists or movements, historically or more recently - it's intentionally ambiguous and somewhat autobiographical. The work is referencing both personal and global desires for those suffering internally and externally to be free from restraints imposed upon them; psychologically, physically and politically.
