Set against the majestic backdrop of Mount Ruapehu in New Zealand’s King Country, “Updraft” captures a moment of effortless grace — a pair of kererū (New Zealand wood pigeons) gliding on the invisible lift created by steep, rolling hills.
With bold contours, textured layers, and the earthy tones of autumn, this piece evokes both movement and stillness — a celebration of balance in nature’s design. The sweeping lines of the mountain mirror the gentle arc of flight, drawing the viewer into a landscape alive with rhythm and renewal.
