-------

The drawings are based on two bird sculls found in Iceland June 2010. The (almost) symmetrical figures aren't necessary
recognized as birds, they are more like symbols or emblems. Birds are often seen as messengers, and sculls (as used in
paintings etc.) usually tells us that "everything will perish", and is a symbol of death.
