The girl in the painting is my daughter when she was around three years old. It was an early summer afternoon when we found an oasis of a garden tucked between big avenues in New York City. We chatted with an old woman on the bench for a while, who lent my daughter her cane to stroll around on her own. My daughter ran swiftly in her little steps, an oversized cane in her hand, like a cabbage-white butterfly fluttering about all around the garden. This memory has stayed with me for a long time, and here it is, a decade later, materialized into a painting.
