Artist Kiyomi presents her latest creation, "Little Feather," a sincere and heartfelt tribute to the Saw-whet owl. This little bird, one of the smallest owls in North America, has inspired a piece close to Kiyomi's heart and reflective of her deep respect for nature's modest marvels.
"Little Feather" stands out with its hand-cut stained glass feathers, a testament to Kiyomi's patience and dedication. Each feather is individually shaped and positioned, bringing the owl to life with a beautiful play of light and color. The sculpture is humble in its materials yet rich in craftsmanship, just like the Saw-whet owl is small in size but big in its ecological role.
 
Settled on a tree branch, the glass-encrusted owl tells a story of quiet perseverance. The reflective glass feathers capture the bird's unique charm and subtly underline its significant place in our environment.
 
This sculpture is a gentle reminder of how even the smallest creatures, like the Saw-whet owl, play a vital part in the grand tapestry of nature. With "Little Feather," Kiyomi shares her love for these overlooked birds and highlights the importance of respecting and preserving all forms of life.
 
In wrapping up her artistic journey with owls, Kiyomi offers "Little Feather" as a simple but meaningful symbol of life's delicate balance. It's a heartfelt message from Kiyomi to us, a reminder to appreciate and protect the diversity of life around us.
