The song makes references to flowers, greenery, and daylight, which I think coincides with the visual theme of the statue I chose (Butterflies by Christina Bothwell). The song itself is sad though, there are lyrics about waiting at hospital beds and worrying all the time. Those lyrics connect a lot to the actual meaning behind the sculpture, which is a mother fearing over her daughter's health.

The soft features of the pink and purples in the glass add a ghostly, graceful presence. They also show the love of the daughter and mother.
The song I chose was for the fact that it’s about a mom wanting good for her daughter and hoping new doors always open.
