About Butterfly And Lady Patung Seni

Butterfly And Lady adalah patung perunggu yang menggambarkan seorang perempuan yang dihiasi kupu-kupu. Sosok itu memejamkan mata, mengisyaratkan perenungan mendalam atau mimpi, sementara kupu-kupu hinggap di kepala dan bahunya sebagai simbol kebebasan dan transformasi. Karya ini dicetak dengan metode tradisional lost wax (cetak lilin hilang). Proses pewarnaan termal memberikan permukaan perunggu tekstur menyerupai marmer, sedangkan kupu-kupu diwujudkan dalam material menyerupai emas sebagai kontras. Patung ini berukuran 750 x 495 x 476 milimeter dan merefleksikan hubungan antara manusia dan alam.
