A mixed-media triptych on canvas, embellished with 24-carat gold leaf and original school reports from the 1960s, carrying familiar criticisms such as “below average” and “could do better.” At its centre, the butterfly becomes a symbol of transformation and possibility — a reminder that we are never fixed by the labels placed upon us.
