7x5" Mixed Media on Paper
This is a figurative mixed-media painting with strong narrative and symbolic content, rendered in pen and ink, and acrylic on watercolor paper.
The Central Figure
A shadowy, faceless figure wearing a hoodie, a badge, and patchwork jeans — an unsettling blend of authority and anonymity
The face is a void — dark with two small white eyes — suggesting dehumanization or lost identity
The jacket/clothing has the word "precarious" written on it, directly embedding meaning into the figure
The Tree & Birds
A bare, leafless tree stands beside the figure — suggesting dormancy, vulnerability, or death
Colorful kingfisher-like birds perch on the branches, a vivid contrast to the stark tree
A small box labeled "fear" is nailed or hung on one of the branches — like a birdhouse, but containing something far more psychological
