Bird of Fortune, 2016

Bird is a positive and powerful totem of the symbolic animal. As a creature of two worlds the bird is an esoteric messenger back and forth from the sky (heaven, divine realms, unconsciousness) to earth (matter, practical realms, consciousness). Having wings the bird also represents freedom of flight, possibilities and perspective. As the colour of blood and fire red is also interpreted as a color of life and energy each of which are primal sources of life and development. In ancient days red pigment was extremely rare to supplyas was royal purple, so it was often associated with luxury, heroism, divinity and magic.Surrounded by a gold halo, a Phoenix shape emerges — an immortal bird who always rises from the ashes showing that there is always another chance and new hope.
