Symbolism
The image is inspired by Petrus Christus’s Portrait of a Young Girl (c. 1470), one of the earliest portraits of the Northern Renaissance. The original painting, housed in Berlin’s Gemäldegalerie, is renowned for its subtle lighting, restrained palette, and the masterful fusion of precise realism with a sense of inner presence.
Here, the image unfolds as a portrait of the inner being. Consciousness is only beginning to awaken: the gaze is distant and observant, as if belonging to a being just becoming aware of its own existence. The moment captures the threshold of the psyche — the point at which a person starts to recognise the self, yet does not yet know who that self is.
The abundance of flowers across the composition reflects the unconscious, instinctive and emotional realm from which inner life draws its strength. The butterfly symbolises transformation and the soul’s movement towards awareness. The delicate cracking of the face serves as a reminder that maturity is born through fragility and the traces left by time.
Symbolism is always multi-layered in nature and opens up in multiple interpretations, which everyone can approach from their own starting points, thus enriching the understanding of the different dimensions of the symbol.
