O-Washi: Steller’s Sea Eagle painting

Description

I am a sea eagle. Perched over water, I scour the waves. Slowly, but intently watching the ripples vibrate from the translucent swimmers just under the surface.

The horizon is rising, making it a challenge to find my resources. My friends and I overwinter as far south as Japan, but the swimmers there are scarce as well.

With our wings spread 9 feet we, like so many others, will continue flying…

“O-Washi” features a realistically depicted Steller’s Sea Eagle bust that drips into the stark white background. Three green teal pyramid shapes float at the bottom which symbolized an industrialized world. A spray of orange at the top of the piece represents the chaotic struggle of wildlife survival in the modern world.
