Medium: Hand-selected Lapis Lazuli crystals, ethically sourced deep blue plumage, natural weathered driftwood, "brushed" metallic acrylic, and hand-wrapped genuine suede lace

This intricate mixed-media wall-dependent sculpture bridges the worlds of textile artistry and fine mineralogy. Grounded by a natural weathered driftwood bar, the piece features thirteen meticulously structured loops of raw Lapis Lazuli crystals, a stone historically revered for its deep, cosmic coloration and internal subtle gold pyrite flecks. Cascading beneath the stones are deep blue feathers, hand-tied with matte black suede lace, creating a rich and continuous fluid movement.

The composition explores texture and rhythm through deliberate, hand-painted gold-dipped feathers that introduce a "brushed" metallic radiance against the organic plumage. This luminous gold accents the natural pyrite within the crystals above. Visually balancing the weight of the sculpture, the right end of the driftwood bar is cleanly hand-wrapped in black suede, offering an asymmetric, architectural boundary that frames the entire organic form for luxury residential interiors.
