Description

‘A Heavy Emptiness in Her Arms’ by Niky Motekallem

About the Artwork:

A black capped chickadee surrounded by silver bells and roses. Her wings spread out. She should be in flight without burden, but something weighs heavy upon her. Does emptiness have weight? Does longing have physical measure?

About the Artist:

An Iranian-American illustrator, Niky depicts flora and fauna with intricate lines and bright colors inspired by their Persian Culture. Their work uses symbolism and a personal mythology to communicate deep emotions and celebrate our connections with the natural world. When they aren’t working in the studio, Niky can be found brewing a decadent cup of tea, meandering through antique shops, going on hikes with plant identification guides, or playing D&D with friends.
