In The Red Owl by Tye Adla, one cannot help but draw parallels to Kenojuak Ashevak's iconic The Enchanted Owl, which preceded Adla's by nearly a decade. Adla’s vibrant fledgling, with its own striking pose and rich scarlet plumage, seems to be in the midst of a playful attempt to emulate the grandeur of its famous predecessor.
