Diverging is the opposite of converging. It happens when ideas, people and waves take different paths and things begin to differentiate.
This artwork arises from a respectful collaboration with nature, inspired by branches left by a bird on my windowsill. The x-ray, a found object, serves as a reminder of the natural world, honoring its contributions without appropriation.

Establishing Context
Diverging is the opposite of converging. It happens when ideas, people and waves take different paths and things begin to differentiate.
One morning, a bird unexpectedly dropped branches from the sky onto my windowsill.
I took the branches and began to design a collaborative animal artwork, adding some raffia and an original x-ray of a bird, a kind of “deferred photographic image” to make the vision of the body structure immediate.
The result is an object called “Diverging Waves.”
