Fragility

I was looking up collages on deviantART for inspiration and this caught my eye (as well as Angela's as she requested that I put this up on the blog). At first glance, the contrast in colors is eye catching and attention grabbing, but after looking at the image, and reading the artist description, you find that there's a lot more to this particular piece of work.

The bird (I'm not sure what type of bird it is, though if anybody can tell me then that would be awesome) was found with a broken neck. With our daily routines we often forget how fragile life is, how precious it is, how precious time is. What strikes me the most about this piece is how it reminds you of fragile life is--small, big, animal, and human.

  2. I think it might be a mockingbird, I'm not entirely sure about that though!
