The smooth surface and soft contours, paired with a minimalist visual language, reflect a moment of quiet contemplation and inner resolve.

A tall, unhurried form stands like a bird that hasn’t flown, yet isn’t flightless. The inner calm of this piece reflects a kind of self-contained strength. *The Season of Not Flying* captures the space between the urge to fly and the choice to stay — a quiet phase of maturity and a dignity born of stillness.
