Description
"Was I before a man who dreamt about being a butterfly, or am I now a butterfly who dreams about being a man?"Inspired from that quote from a Taoist philosopher, Zhuangzi [莊子] which I randomly stumbled across one day.
In this life we are bound by so many obligations, restrictions and whatnot that keeps us from pursuing what we truly want. It's as if we are constantly trapped in a pupa and dream of breaking free one day, like how a butterfly emerges from its pupa and gracefully soars the skies and begins a new stage of its life.
+ Adobe Photoshop CS3
+ tons of Vocaloid music for inspiration 8)

Thank you! ;v; The texture was actually this random piece of crushed paper I found lying around my room and decided to use it. :3
