Transition (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Kara Baah

Two hands reach upward through a vibrant landscape of colour and movement, surrounded by butterflies in flight. The hands appear to rise from swirling currents of turquoise, coral, and gold, suggesting a moment of awakening, release, and transformation.

Butterflies symbolise change and renewal, flutter across the canvas, moving from the hands into the open space above. Their presence reflects the journey of growth: emerging from challenge, embracing change, and stepping into new life. The textured background, rich with layered patterns and sweeping strokes, evokes energy and motion, as though the air itself is alive with possibility.

The reaching hands express hope, surrender, and aspiration a gesture of letting go while also reaching for something greater. This piece invites the viewer to reflect on personal transformation and the beauty that can unfold when we embrace change.

Through bold colour, texture, and symbolism, the artwork celebrates resilience, renewal, and the freedom that comes with becoming who we are meant to be.
