Yuji Hiratsuka’s Feathered Bot merges the organic and mechanical in a striking fusion of imagination and precision. A stylized bird with a mechanical skeleton perches atop a bowler hat that doubles as a cage for an enormous blue eye—a surreal meditation on perception and invention. Set against a bold harlequin backdrop, the image radiates both wit and introspection. Hiratsuka’s layered color, etched detail, and chine collé textures create a luminous, symbolic harmony between human curiosity and technological wonder.
