About this piece

A tightly cropped study of bird plumage brings overlapping, rounded feathers into contact with longer, dark-striped forms. Warm light reveals fine gold and brown patterning, while shallow focus softens the edges into a quiet field of color.

The story

In this early-April frame, a small expanse of plumage fills the world. Light settles along each feather's edge, tracing gold around brown and black. Rounded layers gather like shingles beside a sweep of longer, pointed markings. The bird remains beyond the boundaries of the image; its presence rests in the delicate abundance of this covering.
