Bleeding Sparrow and Thorned Roots

Description

A dynamic half-sleeve combining a soaring sparrow rendered with fine illustrative shading and a bold red watercolor splash, above knotted, thorn-like organic forms that snake down the arm. The bird symbolizes freedom and uplift; the dark, tangled roots suggest struggle, grounding, or transformation. High-contrast blackwork and graphic details create a striking, modern juxtaposition.
