As life changes, as new worlds open, as you adapt, compromise and grow around everything that surrounds you. Until one day you pause and wonder when you last truly recognised yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis painting was born from that moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe three overlapping butterfly wings represent different versions of ourselves: who we have been, who we are becoming, and the parts of us that patiently wait to be found again. They don’t replace one another; they exist together. Every version deserves a place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eButterflies have always symbolised transformation, but to me they also represent something gentler: the quiet courage to return to yourself. To unfold at your own pace, without forcing who you think you should become.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBuilt with transparent layers of acrylic and ink on linen, each wash allows traces of the previous layer to remain visible. Nothing is completely covered. Every experience, every choice, every season becomes part of the final piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI called this work \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLes Premières Ailes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e—\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe First Wings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e—because this wasn’t the end of my journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIt was simply the first moment I felt myself coming home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anna van Thull","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57228359860489,"sku":null,"price":1000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/4331\/4697\/files\/DSC02284_34e975bd-3287-41e9-8353-8e097aa937e8.jpg?v=1785406997","url":"https:\/\/annavanthull.com\/products\/les-premieres-ailes","provider":"Anna van Thull","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
