Village

Against a saffron sky that feels both celebratory and scorched, the rooster stands like a herald of dawn, its saturated plumage carrying the last traces of organic vitality amid a flattened, block-like city. The monumental tree trunk—wrapped in banded greys like layered history or quiet restraint—interrupts the scene as a vertical boundary between nature’s endurance and the urban horizon’s slow encroachment. Sparse, tender leaves punctuate the bark like small assertions of renewal, while the pale sun hovers with a muted insistence, turning the composition into a meditation on resilience: life insisting on color and song even when the world has been rendered into silhouettes.
