Magpie

A solitary black-and-white bird is rendered with brisk, almost calligraphic confidence, its sleek silhouette cutting through a mist of blush and pearl as though emerging from memory rather than landscape. The soft, floating discs—patterned with faded florals—behave like quiet echoes of domestic time, ornamental yet distant, pressing against the animal’s sharp alertness. This tension between graphic presence and airy, decorative space turns the figure into a small emblem of resilience: poised, watchful, and tenderly unmoored from any fixed ground.
