The bird’s body is cloaked in layered markings of black and green, carved with precision by printer Lukta Qiatsuk so that the feathers shimmer with patterned depth. Each line carries weight, building a surface that feels both intricate and solid. The talons curve below, ready but unmoving. Most striking are the wide, unblinking eyes that lock forward. The gaze is direct and unwavering, holding vigil and pressing into the very core of the viewer.Provenance
