This
surrealist masterpiece delves into the themes of violence and fear with
striking clarity. The artwork portrays a human head on the brink of being
consumed by an enormous bird, creating a scene charged with tension and
dynamism. The bird's body exhibits the mosaic-like technique, a signature
element in Chowdhury's works. It immerses the viewer in an atmosphere of terror
and mystery, with a particular emphasis on the bird's menacing eyes, which
evoke a palpable sense of fear in the face of the human subject.
