“In creating this piece, I chose a delicate palette of soft blues, warm browns, and gentle grays to softly transition across the feather's surface, achieving a sense of tranquility and nurturing presence. The watercolor technique allows for smooth blends and subtle drips, which I used to echo the fragile yet resilient nature of the feather itself. Through gentle splatters and an intricate central line, I wanted to evoke a sense of quiet strength and deep assurance, offering a comforting embrace to those who find refuge in its presence.”
