A Pause on Borrowed Wood

This minimalist ink drawing presents a solitary bird perched on a cut branch, suspended against a quiet field of dotted space. The textured feathers contrast with the rhythmic grain of the wood, suggesting a dialogue between the organic and the shaped, the living and the used. The emptiness surrounding the figure amplifies its stillness, turning an ordinary pause into a moment of contemplation. In Ashma Izzat’s restrained visual language, the bird becomes a symbol of resilience, watchfulness, and brief rest within an increasingly structured world.
