This artwork strives to capture the kaka’s innate personality and acrobatic prowess - its intrinsic frenetic energy finds correspondence in the artwork’s composition. 

Featuring two distinct depictions of the kaka, it attempts to impart contrasting feelings with each of them, conveying the bird’s complex nature.

Adopting a daft pose, the full-body representation embodies the bird’s lively nature, highlighting a graceful, curving fluidity that traverses the bird’s body and emphasizes the versatility of its legs.

In contrast, the portrait view offers a glimpse into the kaka’s introspective side, capturing a deep, serene gaze that unveils the complexity of its thoughts and cognitive ability.

The pattern close-up offers a precious glimpse of the mesmerizing and intricate beauty of the kaka’s underwing colours - a spectacle only unveiled once the bird spreads its wings.

Crowning the top of the page, individual feather representations introduce an augmented scale of observation. A plume-like example from the bird’s underbelly, paired with a slender, elongated one from its wing brings to life the complex patterns and distinct textures of the kaka’s plumage.
