The totemic bird appears in windows, it takes on a disguise in each pane, adapting to its background in order to exist. The bird thrives in almost all elements, the sea, the sky and the earth. It has conquered this matter during its wandering evolution from the Jurassic period to now, as it flies alongside the industrial aircraft, feeds alongside the trawling net, is caught in one million megapixels in the lens of the camera. Ruby Wilkinson explores the sky as a realm of creation, freedom and communication through the ever-changing figure of the bird.
