Untitled 7 (Bird of Paradise)

A monumental bird, washed in warm ochres, strides across a labyrinth of fine black linework, its solid presence carving a calm silhouette out of a vibrating, overpopulated world. Within its body, small vignettes—vessel, plant, and patterned fragments—read like reliquaries of memory, suggesting that shelter and nourishment are carried inward rather than found outside. The tension between the dense, obsessive background and the bird’s luminous simplicity turns the creature into both guardian and threshold, a moving sanctuary navigating the noise of landscape, culture, and time.
