About this artwork
Not a Bird is part of the Water and Oil Don’t Mix series, in which oil and acrylic are layered on the same surface, allowing their natural resistance to generate movement, dispersion, and organic formations beyond full control. Rather than imposing an image, the process invites forms to emerge through the interaction of materials.
In this piece, overlapping traces create a fleeting resemblance to a bird-like figure. The resemblance was not intentional;… it appears as an incidental outcome of the material dialogue. The title plays with this ambiguity, acknowledging the human tendency to recognize familiar forms even when none were deliberately created.
Part of a broader investigation into coexistence and separation, the series explores how materials interact without fully merging, allowing the painting to develop through negotiation rather than imposition. Presented on a specially shaped canvas; listed dimensions include its outer edges.

As an artist, I am interested in the visible and invisible forces that shape individual and collective experience, particularly how environments, social systems, and belief structures influence perception, behavior, and forms of belonging. My work examines how these forces operate through what is shown and what remains hidden, and how divisions are constructed through fear, prejudice, and exclusion.
I approach my practice as an inquiry into tension: between visibility and concealment, separation and interconnectedness, surface and depth, detail and totality. Working across painting and mixed media, I experiment with the collision and combination of techniques and materials. Through processes of layering, interruption, and material testing, I explore transformation and shifts across media as ways of questioning how meaning is formed and destabilized.
