An image concept for “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou could depict a symbolic representation of freedom and confinement. The scene could feature a brightly colored bird in mid-flight, symbolizing the free bird, set against a vibrant sky of soft blues and golden hues. In contrast, a second bird, dark and somber, is shown inside a small, rusted cage. The caged bird’s wings are clipped, and its posture is slumped but its beak is open, singing a heartfelt song.
