Medium: Ethically sourced exotic feathers, hand-wrapped chocolate brown suede lace, and natural salvaged driftwood

This striking wall-dependent sculpture celebrates the breathtaking architecture of organic forms through a meticulous arrangement of exotic plumage. At the core of the piece lies a vibrant interplay of light and texture, anchored by iridescent peacock feathers and deep purple-and-black peacock eye-spots. These focal points are complemented by a rich tapestry of parrot feathers, creating seamless gradients of emerald green, turquoise, brilliant yellow, and regal purple.

The composition balances vivid jewel tones with raw, earthy elements. The natural brown and gray undertones inherent in the feathers dialogue directly with a hand-selected driftwood bar. Each feather is individually secured and hand-tied using rich chocolate brown suede lace, which also wraps the wood structure. The resulting piece is a sophisticated exploration of color and tactile contrast, designed to bring a commanding, luxurious presence to spaces.
