~About This Piece
Perhaps these symbols speak in this way… yet each viewer is free to find their own meaning.
Seventh in The Oracle of Feathers series, this piece features a vibrant blue bird crowned in gold, perched atop an ornate golden high‑heeled shoe. Each element carries layered meaning, weaving together themes of elegance, fragility, and renewal: the crowned bird embodies nobility, wisdom, and higher knowledge, while its vivid feathers evoke tranquility and depth. The golden shoe represents status, aspiration, and life’s journey, its bow adding grace and divine femininity. Looking closely at the inner lining of the shoe reveals the label ORACLE. Resting beneath the vamp of the shoe is a cracked egg, symbolizing new beginnings and potential. A glimpse inside hints at the emergence of something precious and unexpected. This work reflects the paradox of elegance — poised between aspiration and vulnerability, beauty and imperfection.
