Tethered Hope
Steam-set, French silk dye on 100% Habotai silk
21" x 17” silk mounted on 24” x 20” x 1.5” gessoed canvas framed in a luxurious rustic gold floating frame
In “Tethered Hope,” two gently cupped hands, bound with delicate golden strings, cradle a silver-studded blue butterfly. The butterfly rests, weightless yet deeply symbolic, on a stretched thread—reminding us of the fragile balance between care and control, reverence and responsibility.
Painted on luminous silk, the hands begin to dissolve into the soft background of blush pinks, warm taupes, and misty grays—suggesting impermanence and the quiet passage of time. The golden strings interlacing the fingers act as both connection and restraint, a visual metaphor for our complex relationship with nature.
The silver-studded blue butterfly, a symbol of hope, transformation, and peace, adds a quiet brilliance to the piece. But its presence also carries a more urgent message: a reminder that these delicate creatures are declining, and our role in their survival is as real as the thread they rest on.
This 24x20" silk painting invites reflection on both personal transformation and collective responsibility. It is a meditation on beauty, fragility, and our sacred role as stewards of the natural world.
Mounted and ready to frame, “Tethered Hope” brings layered meaning to any space—at once serene, stirring, and deeply human.
