Manucure Festive
2023. Wood, metal, enamale. H:52 cm
A white crow with red lacquered claws – bold, strange, elegant. She stands apart not only in color, but in spirit. While others blend into the background, she chooses to shine.
The white crow has long been a symbol of the outsider, the exception, the one who does not belong. But this one is not hiding. With her red nails, she leans into her difference, turning it into celebration. She adorns herself not to fit in, but to mark her own rhythm, her own reasons. The red is not just for festivity — it is a statement.
Is it vanity? Perhaps. Or maybe it’s resistance — a refusal to be invisible. Maybe, in a world that often demands sameness, she chooses beauty as a quiet rebellion.
And who says the crow cannot be festive? Must feathers be dark, claws plain, and gestures practical? This bird says otherwise. Her manicure is an invitation to imagine a world where even the odd ones out — especially the odd ones out — get to be radiant.
She reminds us: celebration is not only for the crowd. Sometimes, it’s for the one who stands alone.
