Magpie’s Witness, Oil on Canvas, 48X36 In, 2025.
"Magpie’s Witness" depicts a Canadian forest where four trees stand wrapped in sheer, drifting fabric. An Edmonton magpie perches on a branch, quietly observing, while a torn red Persian carpet unravels into the air, revealing roots and strings beneath. The carpet reflects the resilience of culture, carrying the unseen voices and labor of women who wove it. Even in fragments, its patterns endure, weaving into the Canadian landscape with strength and grace. The forest, fabric, bird, and carpet together explore heritage, belonging, and transformation, honouring traditions that adapt but remain alive.
