Aligned with the Light, I am the Prize, Blue Magpie Bird Figurine with GIlded Gold Stripe

The red-billed blue magpie is a species from the Corvidae family of birds. It is the largest in the family with the longest tail and most vibrant colors. Gathering strength and momentum, it charges forward in the sky to fulfill the goal set in its heart. 

The refraction of light through liuli transforms the bright and hopeful blue into a meaningful shade of emotion. In alignment, the bird’s body, gaze, and flight embody the saying “full steam ahead”. A solid geometric base anchors the sculpture and appears out of balance with the bird’s suspended body and wings to create a powerful visual impact. Color, material, and design come together to feature a fearless bird carved straight from the romantic movement. It recalls the ones who came before us, those carried by faith and light, who pushed themselves higher and further than anyone thought possible with elegance and enthusiasm.
