This series of bird figures unfolds through distortion, fragility, and inner collapse. These half-familiar and half-grotesque creatures hover uneasily between comedy and decay. Their exaggerated eyes, twisted postures, and contorted wings suggest an overexposure to knowledge, a saturation of perception that turns them into uncanny emblems of mental exhaustion. Rather than evoking freedom or transcendence, these birds embody the absurd weight of awareness. Darkly humorous but quietly tragic, they are caught in endless cycles of knowing too much and being consumed by a sense of disorientation.
