A delicate feather, faint and ethereal, floats within a narrow cage crafted from shimmering gold leaf. The feather—symbol of fragility, memory, and soul—is pierced or anchored by a fine embroidered element, resembling a stick or perhaps a heart reduced to its simplest form. It hangs suspended, vulnerable, and quietly pleading.
The cage, with its tall, rigid lines, feels suffocating—imprisoning not just the body, but the thoughts, the fear, and the ache of loneliness. The deep blue background hums with quiet sorrow, evoking the weight of blue thoughts and unspoken longing. There is a stillness here, a silence that trembles with the fear of being abandoned.
Gold leaf lends an illusion of beauty to confinement—a reminder that even cages can glisten. The embroidery offers a subtle human touch, hinting at emotional stitching that binds pain into shape. Framed and enclosed, this piece becomes a soul encased—soft, silent, and asking only: don’t leave me.
