Did You Know?

The title of this work translates to curved panels with two pigeons.
A vertical, slightly tapered rectangular panel features two birds perched on thorny branches in molded, mirrored glass. The raised, silver-colored figures face left, with the front bird overlapping the other. Scale-like feathers cover their upper bodies, giving way to long, grooved feathers on their wings and tails. Intertwining branches with sharp thorns fill the lower portion of the composition. A thin, dark rim outlines the reflective, metallic surface.
