Artist's Comments


[edit 10september06]
Butterfly symbolism is closely tied to the idea of spirits and souls. It has been used in many religions and cultures. Psyche is the Greek word for both soul and butterfly. The belief was that butterflies were human souls searching for a new reincarnation, which gave the creature uncanny and sometimes ominous connotations. This symbolism was also used in early Christianity as a symbol of the soul. Other cultures believed that spirits of the dead took the form of white butterflies. In northern Europe to see one flying at night was a warning of death, and some said that the soul-butterfly's ability to leave the body in sleep accounts for dreams.

I made this piece using a screenshot of Uruha (Gazette) out of the Reila PV as a reference.
Reila is the best song of gazette if you'd ask me :heart: and I had the idea to draw something of it for a long time already.
I especially wanted to add the emotion of the song into the picture (I failed!)

anyway, I have words which I cannot say but I have loved and I have loved [/lyric rapage]
