Swirling in a storm of molten oranges, scorched umbers, and charred black, a skeletal bird-like figure emerges—a beaked mask reminiscent of both ancient plague doctors and mythic guardians. Its spiraling horn-like forms and layered textures give the impression of armor forged from fire. The composition brims with movement, as if the figure is caught mid-flight through a burning wind, a watchful sentinel navigating the threshold between life and death. The piece feels both protective and ominous, an archetype of vigilance born from the flames.
