This work is about what it means to arrive and be seen. A woman sits in a theater chair with an Indian Runner Duck beside her, both looking straight ahead as if the stage is you. I was drawn to the duck for its upright stance and history of migration from Asia to Europe to the United States — for me it became a symbol of resilience and transformation. Placed next to the woman, it becomes a companion and a witness. Together they remind us that stepping into the light, whether as an artist or simply as a human being, always takes courage.
