Fly

Mixed media painting of a hanging birdcage with an open door over layered book text and lavender wash, with airy negative space to the right.

A hanging birdcage is suspended from a thin line against a pale lavender and cream background layered with faint book text. The cage door stands open, and soft washes of purple and gray drift across the surface, leaving wide negative space to the right.
The open door shifts the focus from confinement to possibility. Suspended in stillness, the cage becomes less about what was held and more about what has already left. The space around it feels intentional, suggesting quiet freedom rather than escape.
