The Mother of Nature presents a seemingly tranquil scene, yet subtly hints at an undercurrent of restlessness reminiscent of the figures in Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte’s Ready-Made Bouquet. The artist also invited a poet to compose English verses inspired by the piece.

Five Acts Outside The Mirror

Her cat was probably hiding under the sofa. She stooped and searched it. One stuffed snow bunting fell out from her hat. The cat flounced out, snatched and tore the bird asunder.

“This is gasoline!” She grumbled in an alfesco café adjacent to the rivulets. A male egret hovered over her hat, plunged to peck the eyes of the stuffed egret posing in his seductive best till the two beads went loose, and shitted.

The childless wife only wears her hat with stuffed grebe fledglings at home. She was drying clothes in the backyard when the crested grebe mother from the near pond led her queue of chicks to perch at her feet, guarding.

The bird lover crowns herself “The Queen of Bird”. One single ruffed grouse spotted a good looking mate on her dumped black hat in the woods. He neared to study the face, then drummed “thump-thump” to court the stuffed mate.

Golden-winged woodpecker turned rare. The dead tern and her chick were still staring from her least favorite hat. She plucked them out to make room for the arrival of a new stuffed woodpecker. The cat lost interest this time
