The Beating
of the Wings explores the margins of humanity and
the relationship between humans and animals. Birds abound, yet most do not
fly—their wings serving as fetishes for our dreams of freedom. Cages, traps,
handcuffs, and ankle restraints present a catalogue of the nooses that
constrain us. The series also addresses humanity’s obsession with naming,
measuring, and classifying as tools of domination. The drawings invite us to
look beyond appearances, reminding us that what matters is not the violence of
the hunter, but the dream of the bird.
