365 Collages | Week 24 | Birds birds birds
Birds are the perfect animal, the one creature probably every human is a bit envious of. Who wouldn’t want to take flight and disappear into the sky? They’re also the perfect metaphor for many things, so tiny and yet so powerful. I think that is what attract us to them, and why so many of […]

There are different layers of papers of course, but also layers of meaning and obscured imagery. There might be some hidden secrets. Sometimes the meaning is obvious, […]
