Hawk by Nader G. Vakili

Hawk (Swallow-tailed Kite)

2005
Guayacan, screwed to a clear, upright plexiglass panel which is set on a plexiglass base
29.75"H x ~24"W x 12"D

Emphasizes the strength and speed of a bird of prey, with its large, black beak and powerful wings. At first glance, it can be startling, since the plexiglass renders its support virtually invisible.
