Sash transforms an interpretation of a bird into a metaphor for vulnerability and existential tension. The bird conveys tension as opposed to harmony through its fractured shapes and unsettled presence portraying states of imbalance and inner conflict. This motif probes a deeper philosophical call for allowing organic forms to become a site for exploring vulnerability and complexities of existence.
