Perched Owl

WOODCARVING WORKSHOP

March 17-24, 2019

A venerable tree, a silent guardian for centuries, succumbed to the relentless force of the 2015 earthquake. As a tribute to its enduring presence, I’ve conceived an owl, a creature of wisdom and foresight, to symbolise its watchful gaze over generations.

The owl, a majestic figure, perches with a broad, confident stance, its gaze sweeping across the landscape. Its form evokes the tree’s strength and resilience, while its piercing eyes mirror the tree’s timeless vigil. This symbolic representation aims to capture the essence of the fallen giant, its legacy etched into the memory of the land.
