Dragonfly

A dragonfly appeared in my life and I immediately recognized it as symbolic of something deeper: something personal, something sacred… something in my inner world, in my own life, but also within my community and world… a sort of reckoning. Dragonflies are symbolic of changes in perspectives, inner transformation, adaptability, understanding the deeper meaning of life, emotional maturity and development of wisdom. It's also a symbol of good luck and prosperity.

The background is varying colors of green in vertical stripes. In the foreground we see the sign - or really a classifier - handshape for the dragonfly in purple (which - purple represents spirituality) and in front of that a handcut and inked cutout of a dragonfly.
