Fragility

Despite all of my preventative measures, occasionally a bird will strike my studio window.
Sometimes they’re just dazed and after a few moments will regain their senses and fly off.
Unfortunately for this little one, that wasn’t the case. I could tell the impact had broken its neck.
I scooped it up and held it while it passed away in my hand…

I started this piece with the intention of keeping it for myself but decided it would be better to let it fly away to another home.
