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 “Narrative of Mind”, a blue bird emerges from the lower left, its finely detailed feathers and intense red eye drawing the viewer into a contemplative gaze. Surrounding the bird, ethereal tendrils of silver and gold spiral through an aqua-washed sky — thought forms, memories, or perhaps neural pathways made visible. These radiant currents appear to pulse with inner movement, echoing the mental landscapes we inhabit.
The background shifts gently from sea green to warm sand tones, suggesting liminal thresholds between land, air, and consciousness. Embedded within the surface are subtle markings and symbols, hinting at stories long encoded in nature’s frequency.
A quiet yet expansive work, “Narrative of Mind” invites reflection on perception itself — how thoughts arise, ripple, and dissolve. It is a meditation on stillness within motion, and the fine line between watching and becoming what is seen.
