QT: Rooster via @justrob This collection explores the rooster as a timeless motif across cultures, objects, and eras, blending everyday life with artistry and symbolism. From delicate craftsmanship on a Japanese tea set to rustic Delft tiles in a vintage kitchen, the rooster appears as both decoration and cultural marker. It takes on a civic presence in a European fountain, a rural identity atop a farmhouse weathercock, and even historical significance in an ancient Roman mosaic being carefully uncovered. The final scene elevates it further into a symbolic and almost spiritual realm through stained glass in a cathedral. Together, the set balances charm, history, and visual diversity, showing how a simple subject can be reimagined across settings to create a cohesive yet varied narrative.

You're wellcome! Here's a thought: They trot out the rooster stained glass and these outfits whenever a cardinal from the Vatican comes by. After that, it's business as usual...

The last time the Cardinal showed up he said: "Monachas nudis pectoribus videre volo." I heard it clearly.

But a rooster stained glass? Where? Which region country does that? So curious.
@panos · May 2, 2026
Great and inventive set! (I see those nuns changed their stained glass pattern 😉)
