Blossom – Washington D.C. Mini Butterfly

$250.00
Only 3 available

Collector’s Edition 1

Each butterfly in the Resilience campaign represents a story of transformation, remembrance, and hope. The Washington, D.C. shooting occurred on September 16, 2013 at the headquarters of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) inside the Washington Navy Yard, where a former contractor opened fire on civilian and military personnel, killing 12 people and injuring 8. It is the deadliest mass shooting in Washington, D.C. history and the second deadliest mass murder on a U.S. military base, behind the 2009 Fort Hood shooting.

This handcrafted miniature honors the Washington Navy Yard community with the same care and symbolism as its larger counterpart. Inspired by the iconic cherry blossom trees that bloom each spring along the Tidal Basin, the butterfly reflects a vision of peace, renewal, and enduring beauty in the face of atrocity. Each piece serves as a quiet tribute to lives lost and a reminder of what we continue to hope for.

This is Collector’s Edition 1 in a series of limited miniatures created by the Butterfly Art Collective. Within this edition are 12 individually crafted pieces, each one-of-a-kind in shape and detail. While united by a common design inspiration, no two are exactly alike—ensuring that every collector receives a singular work from this debut release. Each piece includes a numbered and stamped certificate of authenticity from the Butterfly Art Collective.

100% of proceeds support our nonprofit partners driving healing and systemic change.

Please allow 2 to 3 business days for order processing.
