Murmurations/Migrations

This series is inspired by two phenomena on the planet that are each a marvel, the murmurations of the starlings and the migrant journeys of humankind. The animals, insects, critters of sea, land and air all have ancient and personal symbolism. The snail represents patience and the moon, the orchid, peace and sexuality. A waterfall represents the desert of the gods for Hindus; a finch speaks of joy. And, as many know, elephant brings good luck. Daisies are about fresh beginnings. The Yin Yang symbol and my own representation of the stele are symbols of life and the inevitability of death in concert with the hope of a new beginning.
