Description

Open Door – French Birdcage (Monochrome Mixed Media Artwork)
This powerful black and white birdcage painting captures the sacred moment of transformation—the instant when the past loosens its grip and rebirth begins.
Inspired by classic French birdcage design, the cage is rendered in soft monochrome tones, symbolising history, memory, and what once contained us. The door stands open, marking the arrival of freedom and the beginning of release.
The bird remains within the cage for one final breath. This is the pause before becoming—a moment of awareness where the old self dissolves and the new self prepares to emerge. It speaks to awakening, self-trust, and the quiet courage required to step into a new chapter.
Formed from a rubber doily, the bird carries a sense of fragility and inherited pattern, suggesting identities shaped over time. Its eyes, created from a precious black stone, ground the work with depth and presence—watchful, steady, and fully awake.
Minimal in colour yet rich in emotion, this contemporary mixed media artwork embodies renewal, release, and the beauty of choosing transformation when the door finally opens.
