This diptych invites the viewer into an intimate exchange between the seen and the unseen, perception and presence. In “I See You”, a vibrantly painted lorikeet gazes from the lower left, surrounded by a tapestry of gold-etched spirals and signals. The woodgrain of the plywood becomes a grounding element — raw, organic, and timeless — while the gilded patterns suggest currents of unseen communication or energetic resonance. This bird is both witness and participant, reminding us of the living intelligence that exists in nature and in ourselves.
“Narrative of Mind” pairs this grounded gaze with a more ethereal counterpart — a sapphire-hued bird appears amidst swirling silver lines and soft washes of turquoise and ochre. The composition suggests internal landscapes: thoughts rising like smoke, memory looping through space. Embedded in the layered surface are hints of symbolic codes — both decorative and esoteric — which invite contemplation beyond the literal.
Together, the two works create a portal of quiet attunement. The birds represent not only the natural world, but also states of awareness: presence and reflection, attention and imagination. The mixed materials — acrylic, silver and gold leaf — shimmer between dimensions, blurring the boundary between what is physical and what is energetic.

In “I See You”, a lone lorikeet perches quietly in the lower left, its gaze fixed outward — alert, alive, and aware. Against the natural grain of the plywood, which reads like a living map of time, golden spirals rise and ripple, forming a layered language of energy and memory. These radiant embellishments evoke breath, soundwaves, or thought-forms — suggesting an unseen matrix of communication between species, between dimensions.
The combination of hand-carved marks, flowing gilded lines, and the soft gleam of gold leaf animates the surface with a sacred geometry — one that pulses with the intelligence of both bird and viewer. The painting feels like a quiet encounter: a reminder that we are not alone, that we are constantly being witnessed by nature itself.
Simultaneously simple and profound, “I See You” captures the sacredness of presence — the potency of being seen and the invitation to truly look back.
