Flight Memory

$500.00

Flight Memory is a dense, layered visual composition that floats like a dream caught between water and sky. A rich tapestry of overlapping transparencies reveals elusive details—a parrot’s head, painted feathers, tropical leaves, the suggestion of wings in motion, and perhaps a painted mask—surfacing and submerging as the eye travels across the piece.

The palette shifts from grounded ochres and deep sea blues in the lower half to golden greens and luminous cobalts above, suggesting ascension. Faint frames stack and nest, like the archival overlays of memory boxes or aged photographs. It’s as if the viewer peers through time-lapsed moments captured in a fading aviary or the attic of a natural history museum.

Despite the visual density, the central figure—a colorful bird rendered with painterly softness—anchors the viewer. It evokes a deep nostalgia, a fluttering recall of distant lands or childhood fascination with flight and color.

Flight Memory speaks to transience, to the ephemeral beauty of observation and the way memories layer, distort, and blend. The parrot becomes a symbol of exoticism, mimicry, and memory—something both vivid and ghostlike. This work might be interpreted as a meditation on the human desire to capture nature, to preserve fleeting awe, and the way those efforts blur over time.

This piece belongs in a series exploring the overlap of memory and environment—an archive of vanishing things.
