Metamorphosis - Pictures and Inspiration


My first assignment for Illustration and Visual Narrative.

These are the pictures that inspired me :)




 





 





My concept was inspired by Fatal Frame II - Crimson Butterfly where the souls of the dead villagers appears as crimson butteflies.

And after researching abit on the symbolic meanings of butterflies, it is usually used to describe as the reincarnations of the dead warriors. In Japan, butterfly is seen as a personification of a person's soul, whether alive, dying, or already dead. And the ancient Greek word for butterfly primarily means "soul" or "mind". And coming from a Chinese family, our culture usually depicts that butterfly symbolizes rebirth, which is what I am trying to show.
