Chee-ya-ma

Its body is elongated and slightly poised, as if caught mid-climb on an invisible tree trunk. The head is upright and alert, with a finely detailed beak that tapers to a precise point, suggesting focus and energy. Subtle etching along the wings and tail feathers draws out the natural lines of the stone, enhancing the impression of movement and form without overwhelming the material’s organic beauty. Set into its head are two turquoise eyes—small, round, and vividly blue. These eyes bring a spark of life to the piece, standing in striking contrast to the earthy tones of the marble. They suggest the sharp vision and spirited determination of a woodpecker, always watching, always listening for the pulse of the forest. This carving blends elegance with strength, honoring both the resilience of the bird and the natural complexity of the stone. It feels like a totem of watchfulness and rhythm—quiet, powerful, and enduring.
