Chicken 4

Rendered in spare, calligraphic washes, the roosters emerge as silhouettes of pure gesture—inky bodies curling into elegant arcs that animate the page with a quiet, assertive rhythm. The vast white field operates as both air and stage, amplifying each scatter of ink like the residue of movement, while the sudden crimson combs punctuate the monochrome with a pulse of appetite, pride, and alarm. Suspended between play and ceremony, the figures feel less like birds than emblems of presence—small sovereignties negotiating distance, hierarchy, and attention in a deliberately open world.
