Description

A Black woman rests high up on a tree branch, with her back resting against the trunk. She has large Monarch butterfly wings, and is wearing a long blue shirt and jeans with knee-high brown laced up sneakers. She raises a hand to her face, it has a small caterpillar on it. Behind her is lush green foliage of a forest.
