Global Warming Series 2 (Flamingo Buckets)

A small congregation of flamingos balances on single legs atop bright plastic buckets, turning a familiar emblem of grace into a quiet study of precarious poise. The composition stages a playful yet unsettling theater: saturated reds and pinks flare against a muted, dusky ground, while the repeated circular rims create a rhythm that both anchors and cages the birds’ elegance. By placing living bodies on utilitarian vessels, the work hints at the ways nature is displayed, managed, and made to perform—beauty sustained by an artificial pedestal. The spacious pauses between figures feel like held breaths, making the scene read as both whimsical pageant and subtle critique of containment.
