“Magdalena” is a name always associated with a girl with two different identities. One is the real identity and the other one is the disguise. Then, the real identity will be revealed once she got drunk. The drawing of the girl is “Magdalena”. The caterpillars represent the disguised personality and the butterfly represents the real personality once revealed.
