Meaning

Falling silhouettes of dead birds warn of approaching sorrow and despair.

Visual Description

A pale lavender rectangle contains nine steel swords arranged in a tangled, crisscrossing cluster across the center. Four stylized birds — two white and two black — are depicted around the blades as if falling or fluttering near them. The composition is set inside a heavy black border and the Roman numeral IX appears centered at the bottom in white. There are no human figures, only the stark interplay of blades and birds against the flat background.
