About this piece
A flamingo folds its long neck into a sweeping curve, bringing its bill against its plumage while one golden eye remains visible. Bright light picks out the fine feather textures in saturated coral and red against a dark, blurred background. The close framing turns a quiet grooming gesture into an intricate composition of curves.
The story
On this December day, the flamingo gathers itself into a bright fold of feathers. Its neck describes a loop, holding a small opening of pale background within the red. The bill rests close to the plumage, and a golden eye keeps the surrounding world in view. Near the year's end, this small act of tending carries its own unhurried rhythm.
