Bird in a Cage is a quietly powerful meditation on memory, empathy, and interspecies connection. Rendered in oil with soft, layered gesture, the painting portrays a lone bird within a cage, not merely as captive, but as companion, storyteller, and symbol. Limniou’s folk-rooted, expressionistic aesthetic imbues the scene with warmth and quiet melancholy, hinting at collective histories of nurturing, constraint, and ritual. In her broader practice, human and animal experiences coexist in visual harmony, here, the caged bird becomes a poetic locus where lived and remembered worlds converge.
