The Feathers.

A figure stands motionless, gazing upward, her sleek black hair framing a face of serene neutrality, and her His outfit, a crisp white shirt with a black collar and suspenders, anchors him in a timeless aesthetic, part school uniform, part poetic archetype.

Atop his head rests a light gray cat, relaxed and majestic, its body draped like a crown of gentleness. Its calm and knowing gaze immerses the viewer in that of the animal, while three vibrant blue, green, and yellow feathers spring from his head, like ceremonial plumes. These feathers transform the feline, transforming from pet to symbol, suggesting wisdom, fantasy, and a touch of divinity. The composition is symmetrical and intimate, the cat's presence adding weight and wonder to the figure's raised gaze.
