Sophia was a former student of QMC. In tragic circumstances Sophia's life was taken at an accident in Otago in October of 2019. We would like to purchase this piece of art for our school in memory of Sophia. All support from the community is so appreciated, as this means a lot to so many people. We would like a space in our school dedicated to Sophia and this will give us the opportunity with this gorgeous piece of art.

QMC were so supportive to our whanau as we prepared to farewell and celebrate her short life. This is the perfect piece of art to represent Sophia. Strength of the collective 🦋 and the delicate fragility of life. Thanks Charlotte for making this happen.
