This installation is a bit more challenging for viewers as it discusses the shifting balance between peace and war.

Presently some world leaders are portrayed to be antagonistic and unpredictable and this creates mass anxiety; we don’t know which way the pendulum is going to swing. It is hard to think straight when you are panicked.

​These uneasy feelings increase people’s susceptibility to seeing omens, much like the peace doves that the Pope releases every year being attacked by crows at the Vatican; perhaps a sign for terrible events that are yet to unfold upon humanity. Most of us long for harmony, and this should begin within ourselves. The tension is what is hard to view about the birds in this installation, but it is necessary for us to look at it, absorb it, feel it, so we can start to create change.

The inspiration was drawn from the cage raised peace doves that the Pope had released annually; these unsuspecting birds were being targeted and attacked by intelligent lurking crows who had remembered where to find their easy prey.

The crow and dove collection is reflective of the shifting balance between times of peace and anarchy.
