Chrysalis (Daughter with Mother)

Description:

Height: 23cm. This figurine is called Chrysalis, "Protect and cherish; give wings to fly.

A chrysalis is the protective covering in which a caterpillar develops into a butterfly. The title is a metaphor for the relationship between a mother and her teenage daughter - a time of letting go, in support of emerging independence. A mother's first response is to protect her child, but the greater gift is to provide the love and trust that help her daughter find wings to fly.
