Perched within a tangle of twigs and wire, a black crow guards its nest—an elaborate collection of miniature treasures. Buttons, beads, gears, game pieces, and glass objects nestle into the woven wreath, a tribute to the well-documented behavior of crows as collectors of curious, shiny things. Behind the nest, ghostly blue-toned imagery and abstracted textures hint at lost structures or fading memories, grounding the piece in both nature and nostalgia.
