Birds

For the neck piece in this design, I used blue leather. The leather neck piece, together with the shoulder pads, were used to depict the feeling of being tangled in, closed up, and incapable of expression. The print on the fabric show birds tangled together, being suffocated by the ropes.

The colours in this piece are black and red, reflecting the dark times of a person’s life. The handprints are used here to emphasise physical abuse.

In this sculpture I used skulls to reflect fear, and I darkened the birds, as if they appeared to be afraid of the skulls. The skulls are made up of snakes and spiders, commonly regarded as sources of fear. Below the print is leather, etched with baby birds.
