About This Piece
Perhaps these symbols speak in this way… yet each viewer is free to find their own meaning.
Eighth in The Oracle of Feathers series, this piece features an emerald‑crowned green bird perched on the handle of a cracked Kintsugi teacup, accompanied by three acorns and a gold spoon laying alongside. Inside the cup rests a golden egg among twigs. Each element carries layered meaning, reflecting the stirring of consciousness and the call to awaken. The emerald crown signifies nobility, wisdom, and the attainment of higher knowledge, while its green jewels symbolize growth, renewal, and the heart’s wisdom. The cracked Kintsugi teacup evokes comfort, warmth, and the simple pleasures of life — its fractures, mended with gold, reminding us of fragility but continuing purpose throughout the passage of time. The gold spoon suggests contemplation and the mixing of ideas — the alchemy of turning ordinary moments into something precious. The three acorns embody potential and the seeds of new beginnings, hinting at growth yet to come. The twigs symbolize nesting and the creation of home, reflecting care, nurture, and grounding of spirit. The golden egg represents rare promise, inner treasure, and the awakening of possibility. This work honors the convergence of wisdom, fragility, and renewal — stirring the soul toward awakening.
