"Chickadee Lunch Break" (2024), a triptych narrative, depicts the watching eyes of a ghoulish creature as he hides behind tall grasses secretly devouring a chickadee. As can be seen, the creature has removed his mask (in order to eat). Developed earlier within the series to which this painting belongs, the ghoulish creature is one of two who are addicted to the effects of chickadees and have evolved to consume the species exclusively. The series is ongoing and will, over time, reveal the gruesome faces that normally hide behind such masks.
