Willow Tree – Butterfly Figurine by Susan Lordi

One of Susan Lordi's most powerful pieces — a figure adorned with monarch butterfly detailing, dressed in a white dress spotted with gold. The monarch butterfly is her chosen symbol for resilience, transformation, and the courage it takes to become who you're meant to be.

Her inspiration behind it: "When I think of the monarch butterfly, I am reminded of courage and strength in the face of adversity. A magical metamorphosis… from tiny egg to hungry caterpillar to brilliant chrysalis spotted with gold, the butterfly finally emerges a dazzling beauty. Delicate and fragile, yet determined and resilient, it forges its way for hundreds of miles along a migration route of obstacles and erratic weather patterns, compelled to complete its miraculous journey. I see the monarch butterfly as a true metaphor — for the desire in each of us to be our best, to live resiliently, to thrive, to make a positive difference in the world." — Susan Lordi

The sentiment reads: "Resilient, determined, courageous and beautiful… You have the qualities to transform your world."

A meaningful gift for graduates, anyone overcoming adversity, or simply someone whose inner strength deserves to be celebrated.
