Urban Nest

The artwork features a surreal figure with the head of a bird, its body seamlessly transitioning into an urban landscape depicting industrial buildings, smokestacks, and a bright blue sky. The figure’s “legs” are composed of tree branches intertwined with leaves, while yellow bird claws grasp the ground below. This fusion of natural and urban elements symbolizes the intersection between nature and industrialization, highlighting the tension between growth and development. The bird’s calm expression contrasts with the gritty cityscape, suggesting resilience amidst change. The composition explores themes of coexistence, adaptation, and the impact of human progress on the environment.
