my other project
"Conceptual design"

Here is a quote (from a book I love with all my heart)
that I transformed
into the cycle of a birds life:

“The Bird is fighting its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Whoever wishes to be born must destroy the world. The bird is flying to God. ” from the novella Damian, by Hermann Hesse
