A meticulously assembled shadow box by Joseph Cornell features a vibrant parrot amid layers of collaged ephemera, evoking a sense of nostalgic wonder and poetic fantasy. Fragments of vintage imagery, text, and decorative elements are arranged with Cornell's signature dreamlike precision, referencing the imagined grandeur of the Grand Hotel de la Pomme d'Or. The work reflects Cornell's lifelong fascination with travel, memory, and the transformative power of found objects.
