Yuji Hiratsuka’s Biometric Wings transforms human perception into surreal allegory. A monumental bird, part mechanical and part spiritual, balances upon a figure’s bowler hat—its open cage revealing a single blue eye. The composition fuses anatomy, symbolism, and ornament against a harlequin backdrop, exploring the tension between observation and imagination. Through layered color, etched precision, and chine collé, Hiratsuka merges whimsy with psychological depth.
