Bird 

This is "Bird" by Matsutani, a print where stark geometry meets the fluid gesture of a brushstroke. The dark rectangle looms, an echo of the "horror vacui", the fear of emptiness that drove ancient artists to fill every space with symbols. Now, it is an imposing void, against which a vibrant blue form bursts forth, evoking a bird in flight. Consider the bird – a symbol as old as time. In ancient Egypt, the soul was depicted as a bird, free to soar after earthly life. Yet, here, the bird is not fully formed but fragmented, its essence captured in a dynamic sweep of color. The contrast between the rigid form and the organic, almost explosive, energy of the 'bird' suggests a primal tension—a yearning for liberation constrained by the boundaries we impose upon ourselves. This interplay is a dance of opposites, embodying the perpetual human struggle between order and chaos, constraint and freedom.
