Untitled 3 (Peacock and Procession)

Rendered in stark monochrome, the triptych reads like an unearthed reliquary: a central bird—part peacock, part omen—glows against velvety darkness, its body articulated through incised textures that feel both ornamental and anatomical. The flanking panels unfurl as friezes of human and animal figures, their rhythmic procession compressing time into a single band of myth, so that the viewer moves laterally through narrative while being held still by the emblematic calm of the creature at center. Light behaves like memory here—scratched, revealed, and withheld—turning negative space into a sanctum where power, ritual, and vulnerability circulate in quiet tension. The work suggests a dialogue between the singular and the collective: an icon emerging from the crowd, carrying the weight of ancestral stories without ever fully surrendering its mystery.
