~About This Piece
This work honors the stories that shape us — steeped in time, memory, and meaning.
Fourth in The Oracle of Feathers series, this piece presents a vibrant crowned bird perched atop a cracked golden teapot, surrounded by a chained teabag, a cup, a broken golden eggshell, and a golden skeleton key. Each element, steeped in symbolism, reflects the quiet persistence of memory and the beauty found in imperfection. The teapot evokes hearth, home, and resilience; the chained teabag speaks to the bonds that tether us to the past, its weathered tag bearing a blue feather that hints at mysticism and spiritual insight. The cup invites lingering, rest, and reflection on life’s moments; the eggshell marks fragility, the dawn of new beginnings, and the vestiges of past growth. The key offers access to hidden realms and the unlocking of mysteries.
