Moth Girl Dissonance(Artwork Reflective Writings)
by Laird Art Gallery  ·  Jul 4, '26
poem by    Christine Deschenes
Dissonance invites viewers to meditate on the complexity of identity, change, and self-acceptance through periods of struggle and transformation. Caught between worlds—no longer entirely human, yet not fully moth, she feels the coexistence of vulnerability and inner strength, the inner tension between shadow and light. Not yet fully embracing the potential of her wings. This inner conflict is suggesting that transformation is as much a struggle as it is an awakening. Notes about Metamorphosis Series: In this series I explore the experience of transformation — the constant movement of life, its impermanence, and our deep need to stay grounded through it all. Moth-Girl is a recurring symbolic figure in my work — an embodiment of vulnerability, transformation, and the search for inner light. Through this ongoing series, I explore the liminal spaces between silence and self- expression, fear and becoming, fragility and strength. Drawn toward the light, Moth-Girl gradually discovers that she carries it within herself.
