This painting continues the series of abstract bird forms, once again showcasing a bold, geometric interpretation of a rooster or bird-like creature. The composition is horizontally oriented and appears more angular and assertive in posture compared to the previous works. A striking circular motif at the centre—possibly representing an eye or core element—anchors the piece, filled with densely layered textures and concentric patterns in red, brown, and black tones.

The bird’s form is built from a mix of sharp and flowing contours, with the wings and feathers characterized by zigzag edges and intricate detailing. Rich textures and repeated patterns, particularly in the feathers and tail, create visual rhythm and a sense of movement. Sections of coloured stripes—reminiscent of woven fabrics—add vibrancy, contrasting with the more subdued greys and blacks.

As in the earlier pieces, the use of a stark white background helps to isolate and emphasize the complex form, giving it sculptural presence. The interplay of matte and textured surfaces gives the work depth and tactile interest. Altogether, this piece reinforces the artist's distinctive visual language, blending abstraction, symmetry, and detailed surface treatment to explore avian forms through a contemporary, design-driven lens.
