 Her Bravado explores the profound symbolism birds hold within my work — creatures that, to me, embody the purest form of freedom. In this piece, that freedom becomes inseparable from the essence of the female figure. The bird emerges not merely as a companion, but as a guardian spirit, a silent sentinel bearing the power to transcend earthly bounds. There is a quiet metamorphosis unfolding: the woman becoming the bird, the bird becoming the woman — a convergence of grace, liberation, and transformation. Together, they invite the viewer into a realm of serenity and awakened presence, where strength and peace coexist in flight.
