Symbology: 

This haloed polyphemus moth illustrates the conundrum of both seeing and being seen in relationships. As the giant Polyphemus is blinded in the Odyssey, we too are often blinded by our own expectations, beliefs, and assumptions about ourselves and others, particularly in romantic relationships. This moth is here to remind us to keep our eyes wide open, contemplate our disguises, and embrace the beauty of transformation.

Love is not blind
it is seeing
being
a witness to day
and a night
freeing
the need to contain
clutch too tight
love is not blind
it is sight
despite
the pieces we hide from the light
