Lockdown 1 (The Pigeon Fancier)

The work stages a quiet taxonomy of pigeons within the silhouette of a human head, turning the mind into a grid of compartments where instinct, memory, and habit perch side by side. Each bird—rendered with attentive realism and minute chromatic shifts—becomes a discrete “thought,” while the stark black-and-white architecture suggests both order and confinement, as if consciousness were a curated archive. Above, the serene blue sky presses like an idealized horizon of freedom, intensifying the tension between inner classification and the unruly, fluttering life it tries to contain.
