This piece captures the the very first moment you met your loved one.

The large butterfly will contain a customised map of the place in the world and is accompanied by the amazing Poem 'To a Stranger' by Walt Whitman which reads....

Passing stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you,
You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me as of a dream,)
I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you,
All is recall'd as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate,chaste, matured,
You grew up with me, were a boy with me or a girl with me,
I ate with you and slept with you, your body has become not yours only nor left my body mine only,
You give me the pleasure of your eyes, face, flesh, as we pass, you take of my beard, breast, hands, in return,
I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone,
I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again,
I am to see to it that I do not lose you.

The piece will come to you in a white or black wood shadow box measuring 23cm x 18cm (outer dimensions of the frame) which can be either freestanding or hung.
