The chrysalis functions as a metaphor for personal transformation.

A worm must enclose itself in a chrysalis in order to metamorphose… how long? I don’t know, time does not exist inside the chrysalis.
In the end the chrysalis breaks, throwing away all the dirt that accumulated around it over the years.
What will emerge from its interior? A butterfly? A moth??? Some strange creature????
Whoever has eyes to see can observe and decide. Whoever is blind to the light of the sun can only know that something is happening, that something is changing, and wait for the changes to be beneficial or succumb to reality.
It is time to break the chrysalis, it is time to leave.
