Butterflies Symbolism
In art, butterflies often symbolize transformation and the soul, reflecting their passage from caterpillar to chrysalis to winged form. Their fragile bodies and brief lifespans also make them emblems of ephemerality and the fleeting nature of beauty. In many traditions, their emergence can signal renewal or spiritual rebirth.
