This artwork captures a moment of poised encounter - where two birds, perched on diverging branches, lean gently toward one another in a visual conversation. On the left, a bird with a teal head and golden-orange chest radiates warmth and curiosity. On the right, a bold red bird meets the gaze with equal energy and elegance. Their facing positions generate tension and harmony simultaneously.

Rendered in a stylized paper-quilling aesthetic, each form is layered with precision: curved shadows beneath the wings and tails enhance dimensionality while preserving flat, abstract simplicity. The use of high-contrast black - seen in wings, tail feathers, and the branching structure - anchors the composition, allowing the saturated colors to take center stage.

This piece speaks of presence, attention, and mutual recognition - two distinct identities sharing a space of balance. The absence of clutter amplifies the emotional tension. It is both structural and expressive, architectural and poetic.
