Hollow and Sky

Mixed-media collage on a vivid yellow background combining black paper cutouts, natural materials, and fragments of photographs. A large black animal-like silhouette dominates the upper half, with a photographic human eye embedded in its head. Below it, angular black cut-paper forms suggest birds or other creatures, including a winged silhouette and a long skeletal form. Twigs, dried plant matter, green leaves, hand-drawn white wings, and small reflective circular fragments are scattered throughout, creating a dense, layered composition of organic and constructed shapes.
