Zwei Vögel
The chick hungrily stretches its beak upward. I wonder what the mother bird will bring to feed? The sculpture is narrow and vertically arranged. We see two birds, their heads and their long straight beaks striving towards each other. Below, the young bird, dependent and greedily looking up. Above the caring mother, looking down with love to the child.
The object was made from an elongated piece of linden. A tree that was considered sacred to the Slavs and Germanic tribes. Often a linden tree was located in the center of the village square and symbolized the place of conviviality. Dancing, gossiping and living took place under them. But also jurisdiction took place under lime trees, which in ancient times were considered trees of truth. This indissoluble truth of unrestricted motherly love and the sincere trust of her offspring is symbolized by this sculpture in an excellent way. The rough surface gives the pair of birds a natural look. The slightly yellowish coloring is a reference to the matte sheen of the feathers. From the tree of life and truth, a symbol of dependence and symbiosis was created, which is given additional tension by the separation of the two beaks. Helplessness, caring and the feeding of natural needs are depicted in a touching way. The chick hungrily stretches its beak upward. I wonder what the mother bird will bring to feed?
