About The Artwork: 

This surreal black-and-white illustration, "River (She)," is a beautiful and captivating piece of art. It features the word 'she' with stars twinkling inside, delicate bubbles surrounding it, and graceful butterflies perched atop.

The pronoun "she" is traditionally used to refer to a female person or object personified as female. It can represent the feminine aspect of gender, associated with qualities such as nurturance, grace, intuition, and sensitivity. In recent years, the use of "she" has expanded beyond binary gender identities and is used by those who identify as non-binary or genderqueer. "She" can also represent a sense of belonging and solidarity among women and those who identify with femininity.

Bubbles, on the other hand, can symbolize playfulness, innocence, and purity. They can also represent transience and fragility, as they are fleeting and easily burst. Stars have long been associated with hope, guidance, and inspiration. They can also represent eternity and the mysteries of the universe. Butterflies, with their transformation from a caterpillar to a beautiful winged creature, can symbolize metamorphosis, growth, and rebirth.

Together, these symbols can represent a powerful and transformative journey toward feminine strength and beauty, guided by hope and inspiration but also marked by moments of fragility and playfulness.

"She was free in her wildness. She was a wanderess, a drop of free water. She belonged to no man and to no city." ― Roman Payne
