I am inspired by life concepts from Buddhism and a story from one of the greatest philosophers in China, Zhuangz. This story tells how Zhuangz dreamed he was a butterfly, all the time thinking perhaps his real life was as a butterfly dreaming it was a human. The dreamer in this epic drawing is a woman with butterfly wings. The illusion of life segments surrounds the woman, conveying an idea of how lives begin, and how our feelings drive us to pursue our desires, causing consequences that we may bring into our next lives after reincarnation.
