A full sleeve composition of cormorants above and beneath the water.
This full sleeve design is composed around cormorants above and beneath the water.
The upper part shows a cormorant standing quietly under the moonlight, while the lower part follows another cormorant diving beneath the surface toward freshwater fish.
I wanted to capture stillness and movement, balance and survival, within one continuous scene.
The black body of the cormorant, layered feathers, reeds, moon, soft water lines, and fish moving through the current were arranged to flow naturally along the arm.
Although designed as a full sleeve piece, this composition can also be adapted into a larger back piece.
