The view is from low and close, tilted upward so the creature fills the frame from its floating feet to the tips of its raised hands, rendered entirely as a stained glass panel: every form built from cut pieces of coloured glass joined by dark lead came, lit from behind. One creature only, no human figure anywhere. The body hangs in the air above the panel's lower edge, legs folded and drawn up, soles clear of any ground, the furred torso tapering to a narrow waist; the whole coat is a dense brown-gold fur rendered in hundreds of small amber and ochre glass shards, each shard catching the backlight so the fur reads as texture rather than paint. Both arms are thrown up and outward in a wide V, elbow joints bent, three-clawed hands opened toward the sky; the claws are separate pale glass pieces, sharp-edged, with the lead lines tracing each knuckle. The head is turned straight down the panel at the viewer, chin slightly lowered, red eyes cut from two deep ruby cabochon rounds with a bright core where the light passes through, thick brows arched over them, and the long drooping mustache sweeping out to either side in white-grey glass strips, its ends fanned and curling. Two spoon-shaped implements float upright in the field beside the raised hands, one at each side, their bowls catching a warmer gold light, held near but not touched; the near spoon is the largest single glass element in the panel and reads as the secondary focus, its bowl a lens of concentrated light with a bright caustic rim, and the creature's right hand curls loosely a finger's width from its stem as if it had just let go. The setting is a full-bleed stained glass field: concentric arcs of blue, teal and violet glass radiate behind the floating body like a rose-window medallion, with a ring of small circular glass bosses framing the head and a scatter of pale yellow shards drifting upward around the raised hands. The only light source is behind the panel, so the glass glows hottest at the centre behind the torso and the red eyes, cools toward the edges, and every lead came sits dark against its neighbours; the fur and mustache cast no shadow into the field, only darken the glass tiles directly behind them. Palette is constrained to amber-gold, deep brown, ivory-white, ruby, teal, cobalt and violet, each colour living in one zone of the window; the palette is the whole world, so the composition is warm at the figure and cool at the perimeter. Mood: luminous and otherworldly.
