This painting captures the overwhelming terror of mental illness. At its center, a large black bird towers over a small, vulnerable figure. The bird, a symbol of fear and anxiety, is both protective and menacing, encircling the childlike figure with its massive claws. The figure appears fragile, nearly consumed by the bird, reflecting the paralyzing grip of fear before the process of rebirth begins.
