This painting presents a more intimate and organic variation within the same abstract-bird-themed series. The composition is smaller in scale and appears more fluid, with curving lines and a gentle rhythm that evokes the posture of a bird curled into itself—possibly sleeping or nesting. The palette is more subdued compared to the previous works, with deep blacks, greys, and earth tones punctuated by a few vibrant patches of patterned color, including maroon, yellow, blue, and brown.

Textural detail remains a key focus, as seen in the intricate looped linework that fills many of the shapes, offering a sense of density and motion. The inclusion of textile-like patterns or collage-style sections introduces tactile richness, suggesting feathers or plumage without literal depiction. A scalloped form near the top hints at a crest or feathered edge, adding to the avian impression.

Set against a clean white background, the dark, curling shape forms a strong visual core—almost like a yin-yang symbol—implying balance, protection, or introspection. This piece feels quieter and more contemplative than the others, yet still part of the same visual language, reflecting the artist’s continued exploration of bird forms through abstraction, texture, and movement.
