the lost bird_XII

The focus of this body of work is to explore the concept of sorrow and loss through the depiction of an archetypal symbol of nature, the bird. Subjectivity is merged with the natural world to expand the psychological nuances of the images.
Typically, birds are thought of as symbols of power and strength. My images link the human world to the divine or supernatural realms that lie beyond ordinary experience, the bird in my photographs represent at times strength, otherness,lightness, wisdom and mourning.
Further reflection reveals that in mythology birds are seen as messengers of the deities. They are often associated with the journey of the human soul after death.
The singing honeyeater in the photographs, appeared on my threshold, one afternoon. Here, I hope, I have honoured her life.

Lorenda, thank you for your insights, I feel that it is precisely these existential arguments we have with ourselves that visual art can help fill that vacuum and void, or at the very least tap into the 'collective unconscious'as expressed by Jung. The whole impetus behind Sartr's model was to investigate these very impulses, his great legacy to us is investigated in 'Being and Nothingness'. If my work prompts us to look deeper into the recognition, that 'nothingness' is a unique cosequence of human consciousness, then I am humbled.

Queste Opere sono dirette e ci/mi mettono di fronte a ciò con cui l'uomo deve fare i conti con : il niente. Ma come è possibile fare i conti con il niente...?
C'è o non c'è un flusso che rinasce o il tutto (IO, COSCIENZA) esiste in funzione di un CREDERE... allora è questo credere che produce dolore...?
Possiede l'uomo una esistenza interiore, un flusso, che definisce la sua individualità?
Ma quando lo cerco cosa trovo?
La forza dell'abitudine e del credere fanno dimenticare che dobbiamo fare i conti con il niente, il non-senso, il vuoto ecc...
...la mia opinione...
