The composition depicts a group of Pink-headed Ducks gathered at the water's edge, their distinctive forms emerging from a landscape of deep reflections, warm earth tones and luminous colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"490\" data-end=\"979\"\u003eExecuted with a painterly sensibility, the work combines expressive brushwork with a subtle layering of colour and varnish to create a dreamlike quality. The ducks appear almost suspended between memory and reality, their presence heightened by the glowing palette of russet reds, muted blues and soft pinks. Reflections in the water and the simplified forms of the birds contribute to the contemplative atmosphere, reinforcing the themes of loss and remembrance that underpin the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1326\"\u003eThe Pink-headed Duck, once native to the wetlands of the Indian subcontinent and now widely regarded as extinct, has long fascinated ornithologists and conservationists.
