Catalogue Note
This work is inspired by the wings of Faravahar, Zarathustra in reference to Zoroastrianism.
“I have learned to walk: since then I have run. I have learned to fly: since then I do not have to be pushed in order to move.
Now I am nimble, now I fly, now I see myself under myself, now a god dances within me.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
