The scene of this artwork is dominated by three large, pristine white windows where majestic white birds soar freely and gracefully through. The graceful flight signifies a peaceful coexistence between animal and human life. The absence of discord, conflict, and environmental harm in this ideal urban future is encapsulated, showing a harmonious relationship between the natural world and urban environment. In contrast with the white birds, the city bursts with lively hues of red, orange, and yellow. Roofs and walls are in warm tones, reflecting a lively community that is united in its commitment to sustainable living. Diverse shades of green populate the landscape, showcasing an abundance of trees and plant life. People engage in outdoor activities, embracing a lifestyle that nurtures both individual well-being and environmental health. Through its visual narrative, the artwork communicates a vision of urban spaces where people, the environment, and the creatures that share our planet has successfully fostered a symbiotic relationship and underscores the idea that an ideal urban future is not just about human prosperity but also extends to the well-being of all living beings.
