Medium: Ethically sourced hand selected feathers, driftwood and hand-wrapped genuine suede lace

This wall-dependent sculptural textile piece explores structural asymmetry and tonal contrast through organic materials. The composition balances pristine white plumage against dip-dyed feathers that shift smoothly from deep black to earth brown and muted indigo blue. These elements are meticulously hand-tied with an off-white, gray suede lace that anchors the piece to a hand selected natural driftwood bar.

An intentional tension is created on the right end of the sculpture, where the driftwood is hand-wrapped in dense black suede. This dark, structured accent visually anchors the flowing, transitional gradients of the feathers. The artwork serves as a sophisticated, tactile statement piece, bringing a grounded yet evocative presence to interiors.
