This piece explores the blurred lines between domestic elegance and the untamed natural world. Utilizing a 19th-century photographic process, the deep Prussian blue of the subject is interrupted by hand-stitched lace and vivid red watercolor pencils that bring the birds to life. It is a study of the quiet, wild thoughts that take root when we are still.
