  • As if sculpted, this winged pawn is presented as it has endured and could be a messenger to describe all that it has witnessed.
    The cracks and bullet holes provide us with a strong sense of its experiences.

    Can a mere pawn become an angel or a messenger?
    Can man purposefully destroy other human beings?
    The Art of transformation and the Art of questions.
