A Parliament of Returning Birds

A Parliament of Returning Birds imagines a civic room after its human occupants have left. Ochre walls hold a circle of six wooden chairs; branches turn the furniture into perches, and a patch of grass interrupts the coral terrazzo floor. A cobalt doorway remains open to the world beyond. The work asks what a place for collective decisions might become if other living beings were allowed to occupy it. Quiet colours and drawing-like textures give this speculative scene the scale of a room that could be entered. The image was made through AI generation from an original written brief; it is not a photograph or a hand-painted physical work.
