Artwork description

Signed (left corner) ARTI 24

This painting offers the viewers immediate emotional weight.
The child’s sadness suggests unwillingness and vulnerability. The child is also a participant in something painful or wrong.
The act of cutting wings is violent and symbolic — removing freedom, silencing flight, ending possibility.
The goose’s scream adds horror, but also empathy — the painting becomes a shared cry between the child and the animal.
The surrounding night isolates the scene — creating a sense of secrecy, repression, or internal darkness.
