The jacket you just saw has a story before it became this wearable work of art.
"Once, the jacket was bought an worn to make its owner look beautiful.
While wearing it, it would feel like home, no matter where in the world.
And then , one day, the jackets was no longer the best jacket in the world."
So I bought it to transforme it into this wearable art jacket. Now the jacket has a new purpose, to tell a story to the world.
Underneath the colorful appearance there is more, herb symbolism, poetry and a bird.
The symbols on this jacket tell you about the time after a farewell.

animal symbolism
The butterfly has many meanings, both positive and negative. In early Christianity the butterfly is the symbol of the soul. A golden butterfly can also ensure a place in heaven.
The butterfly also symbolizes transformation and joy, and in the dance of the butterfly shows the need of movement, from one stage in life to the next. |
Cloths of Heaven
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
