This painting, inspired by my work at Evergreen Brick Works in Toronto, reflects the natural balance between up and down—what is real and what is understood. The rooster, a symbol of awareness and transformation, stands proudly, embodying the freedom of nature’s energy. Its bold feathers contrast against the emptiness of the background, inviting the viewer to question perception and reality. Through this piece, I explore how the universe heals the mind, mirroring the tranquility found in a simple daily walk. Nature’s rhythm, like fractals, restores harmony—offering clarity, renewal, and the profound connection between movement and stillness.
