This artwork presents a surreal fusion of two contrasting objects: a traditional white badminton shuttlecock and a dark, metallic warhead. The feathers of the shuttlecock are crisp and detailed, fanning out elegantly in a soft, airy manner, while the base is unexpectedly replaced with a black, riveted metal bomb-like structure. The background is a smooth, bright blue sky, giving the impression that the object is floating or falling through the air. The piece plays with ideas of lightness versus heaviness, sport versus war, and innocence versus destruction. The juxtaposition of the delicate shuttlecock with the industrial, ominous metal warhead creates a thought-provoking contrast, making the viewer question themes of conflict, peace, and shared origins.
