The Royal is a celebration of beauty, power, and mysticism — a divine blend of the organic and the extraordinary. The foundation is a canvas, but what lives upon it goes far beyond surface: captured initially in Morocco, this peacock stood poised in his full majesty, unbothered and unafraid. I brought home not just the image, but real peacock feathers from that same land — woven into the work with reverence and intention.
The piece is alive with layered texture: holographic and inks that shimmer and shift with light, giving the feathers a life of their own. You’ll see them change as you move past — a gentle glow whispering back in the dark. It’s a work that refuses to be still.
Across many cultures, the peacock is a powerful totem of protection, prosperity, and spiritual vision. For me, it also symbolizes unapologetic presence — a reminder that beauty is not vain when it is sacred. I wanted this piece to feel layered in meaning — combining nature and human touch, light and shadow, ancestral energy and modern materials.
The result is something tactile, otherworldly, and deeply symbolic. A guardian for the room it enters. A mirror for whoever is willing to meet its gaze.
