"Iridescent Pause" features a Rufous Hummingbird perched quietly against a background of pure copper leaf, finished with a variegated patina. The natural patina process creates depth and organic patterns that frame the finely rendered bird. Subtle light across the copper enhances the iridescent plumage of the hummingbird, capturing both its brilliance and delicate stillness. The work highlights the harmony between nature’s fleeting beauty and the enduring qualities of copper.
