This set of wooden box tells a story inspired by the metaphora of a butterfly. The metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly is full of hope and offers wisdom during the bleaker times in life. We fight, we work hard, and when the time comes, we transform into someone better and we see this hard work pays off.
