Fledgling from Rubbish

The ceramic part of this sculpture is modeled after Northern Gannets which are migratory shorebirds. Traveling great distances and on the move a lot of the year, they depend upon wetlands and crucial stopover sites along their migration.
We humans also depend on clean water and healthy food to thrive.

Habitat loss, human disturbance, pollution, food depletion, and increasing threats from predators are part of both bird and human plight. Pecking order.

Rising sea levels, flash floods, drought… intwined with plastic debris which glistens the sun, our trash used for nesting materials.

Our trash becomes their home.
We can all do better.
