A forest jay resides on a pine branch, attentively watching the woods. It knows the paths between the trees, the places where seeds fall, and the rhythm of the seasons. 

Independent and thoughtful, it moves through the forest with confidence, never in a rush. It belongs among the woods, just as the woods belong to him. 

For Barva, the forest jay is a symbol of this spirit - observant, creative, and at home among the trees, shadows, and ever-changing seasons.
