In this dreamlike artwork, kingfishers journey from the surface of the earth to the heights of the sky—a symbolic passage from darkness into light. At the very bottom of the piece lies a still, marsh-like lake, surrounded by withered, lifeless branches leaning toward its waters. Within this quiet pool, a single kingfisher captures a fish—a symbol of the ongoing struggle for survival amid stillness.
Above this scene, five kingfishers are caught in a fierce dispute—battling for more, entangled in the dry branches as if trapped in worldly desires and material conflict. Slightly higher, two birds perch quietly on a branch adorned with budding leaves and blossoms, heralding the coming of spring. They sit in peace, yet their gazes drift in opposite directions, each absorbed in its own contemplative path.
In that same row, one bird takes flight, rising upward as though it has discovered a path—perhaps the path to liberation. Once again, withered branches stretch out from either side. On one, a bird watches the chaos below—an observer of the material world. On the opposite branch, a smaller but more awakened bird turns its gaze upward, toward the realm of spirit. Around it, blossoms bloom—a message of love and presence.
Above them, five more birds soar toward the light, carrying blossoms of love in their beaks. These flowers, born of the birds’ love for life itself, become emblems of unity and purity.
At the pinnacle of this spiritual ascent, just beneath a crown of golden, radiant blossoms, one final bird stands alone—an embodiment of wisdom. With wings fully open, it rests at the very center of the composition, a symbol of arrival, illumination, and connection with the whole of existence.
