"The DODO bird sculpture transforms an old bowling pin, meticulously cut, reassembled, and hand-carved. I brought out the textures and details that echo the bird's lost world through pyrography and dry brush painting. The piece is mounted on a Saguaro Cactus crotch skeleton, accompanied by litchi berries, creating a unique diorama that merges natural elements with repurposed materials. This work blends history and imagination, a nod to the extinct and the enduring."
