Emily Sopar, Ara Irititja (Dec theme: Your favourite shot of '25)

This was captured on my first revisit to Adelaide after my Yankunytjatjara grandmother's death, my family was trying to rush me through the botanical gardens, but this butterfly held my attention. I breathed in, I breathed out, and I let the butterfly's wings take the pain of my grief away - til the pain became a long-distant memory. Ara Irititja - a story from a long time ago.
