Edge of Resilience

The artwork depicts a group of magpies stacked vertically on the edge of a road, seemingly supporting each other as they reach towards the sky. The stark contrast between the grassy landscape and the dark asphalt road creates a dividing line, with the magpies bridging the gap. The surreal arrangement of the birds, balancing precariously, suggests themes of unity, resilience, and navigating boundaries. The lone tree in the distance and the vast blue sky emphasize isolation and open space, while the scattered feathers or markings on the road hint at past events or struggles. The piece evokes perseverance and collective strength.
