Lost is a piece consisting of a swallow/swift/house martin taking-off carrying an antique wedding band with a lamp attached by string.
It was with sadness that Alex found these birds dead after their long journey from Africa.
These birds have long been the symbol of mariners and of lost souls. It was once believed that if a sailor died at sea the birds would carry their soul to heaven. Even in the most isolated oceans these birds would appear as they migrate, bringing comfort to the sailors with hopes of land.
This piece is available to purchase as a limited edition of 10. Please note the actual bird may vary from that photographed.
