On Birds

For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by Ancient Egypt and birds. The more I observe and take pictures, the more I admire. I also love the idea that we are all equal, interconnected, tiny parts of the universe. 

So, this bronze miniature, which belongs to the ongoing series 'Same,' is where my passions intertwine.

I wanted to create something simple, and what could be simpler than placing two tiny figures side by side? What initially gave me the comforting vibe of an old plastic toy also vaguely started resembling an Ancient Egyptian motif.
