~About This Piece
Perhaps these symbols speak in this way… yet each viewer is free to find their own meaning.
Eleventh in The Oracle of Feathers series, this piece celebrates diversity, vibrancy, and the beauty of all the colors of the world. A crowned bird, adorned with multicolored feathers, rests atop a gold chalice brimming with bright gumballs — playful and sweet treasures that symbolize joy, innocence, and the cherished moments woven into everyday life. Along the chalice’s side, a crescent moon engraving evokes the cycles of life and the mysteries that guide them. Subtle motifs — a skeleton key and a gold broken egg — appear as quiet threads of continuity, representing hidden knowledge, fragility, and renewal. The crown signifies wisdom and sovereignty, reminding us that richness comes from embracing every shade of existence. The feathers, worn proudly, represent individuality, transformation, and the interconnectedness of life’s journeys. Their brilliance evokes harmony within diversity — the way many colors together create a fuller, more radiant whole. Gold accents threaded through the composition suggest value and the divine spark that runs through even the most ordinary experiences. This work honors the beauty found in multiplicity, inviting the viewer to see life not in fragments, but as a tapestry of all the pretty colors.
