Larissa de Souza’s painting Livre como uma borboleta, which translates to “Free like a butterfly,” depicts a young Afro-Brazilian girl with a young boy mounted on her back. In her left hand she holds a broom as she faces viewers. The boy faces away, only the back of his head visible and his body in side profile. The two stand in a kitchen with a stove on the right side of the image. Above them, an image of a butterfly on its chrysalis sits inside of a green oval. The image of the butterfly mirrors the pose of the two figures.
