From Fight to Flight

Back to Paintings

In the quiet strength of this healing room, may every brushstroke and color remind you that you are not alone. This piece is a gift of light and love to every warrior walking the path of women’s cancer — created with gratitude for the compassionate care of Northwell Health’s team, and in celebration of the resilience, courage, and sisterhood that fill these walls. Rest here. Breathe here. Heal here.

Central Butterfly (lavender-blue): Classic symbol of transformation, rebirth, and metamorphosis — the caterpillar-to-butterfly journey mirrors personal healing and growth.

  • Silhouette of a woman (right side, white, arms raised): Represents freedom, release, and empowerment — she’s rising, dancing, or flying upward, having “come out better.”
  • Green/yellow abstract figure (left side): Likely the “before” state — grounded, rooted, possibly in pain or struggle (note the concentric circles around the heart/chakra area, suggesting inner turmoil or focus on healing the core self).
  • Smaller butterflies in flight: Symbolize thoughts, memories, or pieces of the self being released and transformed.
