The cockatoo’s gaze, intense and purposeful, carries the weight of wisdom born from experience. His wings, in motion, evoke the untamed, fearless spirit of explorers and rebels. Though his eye is sharp and piercing, his head tilts with a surprising gentleness, suggesting grace and humility, all while remaining tethered to the ground below—heightening his soaring presence. His elevated perspective reflects more than physical height; it speaks to an awareness and understanding far beyond mere flight. His journey is not aimless but driven by purpose and intent, charting a path uniquely his own. He stands as a symbol of both rebellion and purpose—flying freely, yet always mindful of the ground from which he rose.
