Birds Under Tree 7

A stylized tree rises like a living axis, its dark, scalloped trunk grounding a jubilant canopy where leaves alternate in rhythmic bands of blue, ochre, and ember, turning nature into a carefully composed ornament. Within this lattice of color, the birds read as guardians and companions—patterned bodies and wide, lucid eyes suggesting an attentive, almost mythic consciousness nestled in sanctuary. The crisp outlines and repeated marks create a pulse between stillness and flight, as though the forest is less a place than a state of protection, abundance, and quiet reciprocity between creature and shelter.
