Lush and rich, this painting lingers at the threshold between what is real and what is imagined. Its stylised botanicals echo Rousseau, evoking enchantment while recalling lenses through which colonial painters framed new landscapes as exotic and unfamiliar. Here, the scene shifts: the bird, and a hidden figure beyond it, return the gaze in stillness and silence. The work unsettles how beauty is seen - and is itself the seer.
