Невелички/Nevelichki

a series of illustrations representing birds as girls

In Russian conversational speech ''ptichka-nevelichka" means "a little bird" or "a bird that is not big." 

In the context of folklore, children's songs, and poems, it might not only refer to a bird, but also serve as a metaphor for something deeper, such as fragility or vulnerability.

soft pastels, black and graphite pencils on paper

The orange sun rolled down the hills,

A pink sheen sparkled here and there.

"I want to catch the warmth,

I'll chase the sunset, without a care!"
