The milkweed, essential to the Monarch’s life cycle, reflects nature’s process of growth and metamorphosis. The seed pod, small yet significant, embodies the power of potential. Just as milkweed nourishes and protects the Monarch, books serve as vessels of insight, growth, and transformation, offering the potential for personal metamorphosis. Through this work, I explore the interconnectedness of nature and the profound impact of small, seemingly insignificant moments in sparking change.
