I really like this photo but at the same time, I wonder what the idea behind it is. I find it is really open to interpretation. I kind of see some pain. In the posture of the young girl, with the pins in her face, and with the expression of her face. I also wonder why she is tied, at least it looks like she is. I really have a hard time fully understanding this image, which by the way I find extremely well done. I would really like to read what other thinks about it, but also the idea the author wanted to present.

interesting textural and inventive shot but more so the portfolio - certainly one to come back to ... often

A pinned butterfly. A young girl robbed of her childhood because "pinned" down by a disease. The psychology of torturing a child (in the sense of F. Dostoevskij). Do I need anything more to know? Hardly. Very expressive, provocative, and deep picture, Zhenia. Regards. Blago

From when we first meet Pinkerton, a dashing officer in the United States Navy, it is clear that the man is a philandering heel, infatuated with the fifteen year old Butterfly, cognizant of her fragility, but "not content with life unless he makes his treasure the flowers on every shore." He says as he compares her to a butterfly, "I must pursue her even though I damage her wings."

First impression - and trying to avoid being influenced by the title - is one of the pain of adolescence. The toning is dark hence a sad psychological texture. She seems to be bearing it stoically though.

With the benefit of Blagoy's excellent comment I better understand, though not totally because I am au fait with the Butterfly's fate and I don't sense the 'solution' in your work though I realise it is there for me to see.

This produces in me a restlessness, a desire to see, to complete my understanding. It's an artistic tension that will necessitate return.

Congratulations on so fine a creation. Regards, Seven.
