“In creating this piece, I focused on blending earthy tones and soft transitions to capture the quiet strength of resilience. Using my hand-made pigment, Marshall Fire #1, I layered delicate brushstrokes to shape the feather, allowing each splatter and drip to tell a story of endurance and remembrance. The muted colors and subtle movement within the piece reflect a steadfast commitment to something greater, resonating with the spirit of enduring care and dedication.”
