The bird’s body is rendered in a deep teal, its form rising vertically like the intonation of a question. Limbs stretch outward in rigid, angular lines, while the red accents along the wings and feet feel both declarative and uncertain. It’s a study in suspension: a poised geometry that doesn’t yet know whether to land or flee.
