Nostalgia 2

A small sparrow perches with unassuming authority atop a worn mechanical fitting, its warm plumage set against the cool translucence of a toppled glass that catches and fractures the light. The composition stages a quiet dialogue between the living and the discarded: soft feather and hard metal, breath and object, presence and absence, all suspended in a pale field of silence. Shadows pool like memory beneath the forms, suggesting that even ordinary remnants can become a temporary altar where nature pauses, observes, and endures. In this still-life, fragility is not weakness but a poise—an ecology of survival resting on the debris of human making.
