PIGEON PEACOCK

This work explores how identity can expand when we choose to see ourselves differently. A vessel supports a hybrid figure – a pigeon wearing the splendour of a peacock – not to contrast the ordinary and the extraordinary, but to suggest that both live within us at once. The humble pigeon, so often overlooked, steps into the radiance of the peacock, reminding us that dignity and beauty are as much a matter of attitude as appearance.

Here, the vessel becomes a container for possibility. Real peacock feathers embedded into the ceramic surface heighten this sense of transformation, blurring the boundary between who we believe we are and who we might become. Through material and metaphor, the work proposes that with the right framing—and the right self‑belief—even the most unassuming among us can choose to see ourselves as peacocks.
