Birds reflects a moment of stillness touched gently by movement. In this piece, Tic explores how light transforms a forest at dawn — how warm morning tones slip between tall trunks, how shadows cool the ground, and how a single moment of flight can shift the entire atmosphere.
The foreground rests in quiet shadow, deep and contemplative. Beyond the trees, a soft band of orange and gold rises with the first light of day. Two distant birds cross the pale sky, bringing a sense of life and subtle narrative to the scene.
What distinguishes this work is its emotional balance: serenity and movement, darkness and warmth, solitude and openness. Through attentive color transitions and a thoughtful composition, Tic turns an ordinary woodland view into a scene filled with breath and quiet presence.
A gentle, introspective piece that captures the poetry of morning light and the small freedoms that move through it.
