“Don’t Just Fly — Soar” (Triptych)

Acrylic, gold leaf, charcoal, and pen on canvas

This triptych brings together three origami birds, each encircled by delicate floral motifs in luminous gold leaf. The layered skies behind them—soft washes of light and rays breaking through—become a backdrop for resilience, transformation, and hope. The contrast of rich textures, from the softness of acrylic to the raw lines of charcoal and the brilliance of gold, creates a dialogue between fragility and strength.

Each panel measures 15 x 30 x 1.5 inches. Done on stretched canvas with wire hanging at the back, white painted edges ready to be hung.
