Red presents a powerful and mythic vision steeped in beauty and rich color. At the center of this large-scale work is the body of a crimson-feathered eagle. Atop rests a bleached unicorn skull. An arresting fusion of death and fantasy that anchors the piece in both myth and mortality.
Surrounding the figure is a dense, highly detailed tapestry of deep red filigree, thorny botanicals, and clusters of ripe tomatoes and mulberries. Tiger moths flutter and guide us as symbols of transition, fragility, and the unseen. Their delicate forms contrast the starkness of bone and the bold red plumage, adding a quiet, ephemeral rhythm to the otherwise intense scene.
Red is a lush visual meditation on identity, sacrifice, and the strange poetry found in the fantastical. The unicorn horn, a symbol of purity, becomes an artifact of reclaimed power. The severed head, the spread wings, and the dark garden of flora and moths together suggest a world where myth and death coexist, bound by beauty and grief.
