About the artwork:

In this artwork the viewer is invited to reflect upon urban decay and organic renewal. A derelict couch reclines on an empty stage. Where the fabric perishes, abstracted shapes of birds appear like phoenixes rising from the ashes symbolising a ‘reclaiming’ of nature’s birth rite. The shape of ‘things to come.’
