Its settled posture, gently modeled feathers and grounded relationship with the rocky base give the sculpture a feeling of stillness after movement, almost as though the bird has paused between one journey and the next. The surrounding blossoms soften the weight of the bronze, while the irregular stone-like foundation introduces the weathered, organic character associated with wabi-sabi interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1464\"\u003eMore than an ornamental bird figure, the work carries resonances of peace, fidelity, purity, hope and harmonious coexistence.
