The Butterfly, 2022

Dr Muna Ather

Acrylic on canvas

This beautiful butterfly piece was created on canvas size 16"×20".

The knife palette number 1 and 2 were used to create the texture.

Framed in a premium black frame.

Nature so ugly yet so beautiful

Often random with no set rule

How else do we explain

The caterpillar ever so plain

Becoming the butterfly so pretty

The classic example of beauty

I may sound enigmatic

Maybe even a bit pedantic

But the same sequence in human beings

Rarely happens – the reverse often reigns

Innocent human soon becomes evil

Angel child grows into the devil

Though we call ourselves humankind

We are neither humane nor kind
