The Bird in a Suit, 2026
Description :
The Bird in a Suit merges a necktie with a feather, bringing together two opposing ideas: professional conformity and personal freedom. The tie represents ambition, responsibility, and the expectations attached to success, while the feather suggests flight, instinct, and the freedom to move without restriction. By transforming the tie into something associated with a bird, the drawing reflects on the tension between adapting to professional systems and preserving individuality. The work asks whether the structures we enter to move upward actually help us fly, or gradually restrict the freedom we were pursuing in the first place.
