Wings III presents a precise arrangement of natural elements that draws the viewer into a quiet dialogue between order and organic form. Two distinct clusters of feathers occupy opposing sides of the composition—on one side, six brown and orange feathers lie in a clean horizontal line, bound delicately with waxed linen threads. The opposite grouping combines feathers and pine needles layered tightly to create a textured surface, while slender willow sticks stand vertically between them, providing a subtle yet deliberate separation. A weathered, rectangular shard of rusted metal anchors the lower corner, its roughness offering a tactile contrast that deepens the visual narrative. The piece balances restraint and complexity, inviting reflection on how natural materials can be thoughtfully composed to evoke harmony and layered meaning.
