On Birds of Paradise

This illustration was made for a show entitled ‘Botanica' hosted by Light Grey Art Lab in New York City. Decue was exclusively invited to participate to the event with a handful of artists.

”The featured bird and flower share the same name, Bird of Paradise. Geographically, they don’t have any connection, with the bird residing in X and the flower growing in Y, and yet the similarities are astounding. The goal of my piece is to connect these two beautiful species and celebrate the coincidence of nature."
