The crow

The Crow

Crows are known for their ability to adapt and survive in challenging environments, making them symbols of resilience and strength, intelligence and transformation. In some cultures, they can be seen as messengers of bad news or danger on the horizon.

The crow is connected to the spiritual world and acts as a messenger between the physical and spiritual worlds. This connection allows them to convey messages from ancestors, teach us lessons, or warn us of potential danger.

This sculpture is about the tendency of man to find a new technical solution for every problem. Man thinks that he knows better than all other life on earth. In my work I use an oak leaf of which the vein has been replaced by a digital pattern. With this I want to show that a leaf is already technology in itself. Nature has already invented the process of converting CO2 into oxygen. It is not necessary for us humans to do better. We only have to leave nature alone. Then the balance will return.
