“In this piece, I used a soft, earthy palette with the hand-made pigment Marshall Fire #1 to create a feather that feels both delicate and grounded. The subtle transitions and blends mimic the natural flow, while the splatters and drips add a touch of spontaneity, hinting at life’s unpredictable moments. Through gentle brushstrokes and layered textures, I aimed to capture a sense of balance and belonging that resonates with the warmth of shared experiences.”
