Medium: Ethically sourced hand selected feathers, natural weathered driftwood, "brushed" metallic acrylic, and hand-tied premium deerskin lace

This dimensional textile wall-dependent sculpture marries the organic asymmetry of the natural world with the rigorous precision of sacred geometry. Suspended from a weathered driftwood bar, individual speckled brown feathers are meticulously hand-tied with soft, buttery deerskin cream lace. The plumage is calculatedly layered to form a striking triangular pyramid, creating a clean, geometric silhouette that shifts dynamically when viewed from different angles in a room.

Serving as the visual anchor at the apex of the pyramid is a single, hand-painted feather. Finished with a textured, "brushed" metallic gold paint, this brilliant focal point catches ambient light, evoking the intersection of raw nature and refined luxury. The piece is an elegant, highly tactile statement designed for sophisticated high-end interiors.
