A piece from my In a Box series, inspired by my fascination with the charismatic Mynah birds so common in the UAE. Perched atop a ripe pomegranate, this inquisitive bird—with its vivid beak and watchful eye—is rendered in fine Trompe L’oeil detail. Blending photorealism with illusion, I aim to evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transforming a fleeting moment of nature into a timeless, three-dimensional still life.
