Wings of Memory

The artwork features a large magpie with outstretched wings, each wing displaying scenes of different buildings—a stadium entrance labeled “Victoria Park” and a suburban house. Below the bird stands a small figure, a child in a coat holding flowers, connected to the magpie by a blue ribbon that flows around them. The sky transitions from day to night, suggesting a blend of time and memory. The composition evokes themes of nostalgia, history, and the passage of time, with the magpie symbolizing a guardian or guide between these worlds. The juxtaposition of structures signifies a connection between public and private life.
