I'm Perfect, But Unreal

A bird's head in profile, crowned with a fan of orange-red plumage against solid black — the crest painted so theatrically it reads more like a costume than feathers, which is exactly the tension the title names: the perfection of the image and its unreality sitting side by side. A single bright red ring around the eye is the only soft passage in an otherwise graphic, high-contrast painting.
