I created the feather sculptures using clay. I etched out the intricate feather markings using a small metal carving tool. I then painted it using oil based paints.

An accidental spill of bird seeds reminded me of a swarm of birds in the sky.
I used wire to create these bird sculptures.
I found it difficult to capture close-up shots of the birds in motion. So I decided to make a bird feeder using double side tape to hold the seeds so it would take the birds more time to get the seeds, therefore allowing me to photograph them in movement.
The lighting in the room created these lovely bird shadows from my cutout miniature paper birds.

"The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings."
